I have to admit that this book took a while for me to get into. And because I tend to pick out books based on their cover, I was not aware of the religious aspects of this book which at times, I felt was too much for me. I kept putting this book aside but I am glad that I eventually finished it because it did have great meaning - the consequences of texting while driving, owning up to your mistakes and forgiveness.

There is a great story here! I do like how the ending came together but there were just so many times where it seemed to drag on while there were other times it seemed to be very rushed. Some of the characters I really loved & connected with while some just really got under my skin. As much as I believe that people can change for the better, I don’t believe they can change overnight like a few of the characters did. At the same time, I saw the promise of change in other characters which to me was more believable.

I did enjoy the message this book was giving.

I would rate this book a 3.5 but I am rounding up.

Wholesome Christian novel that will keep you entertained while providing feel good moments. Towards the end things got a little corny but overall solid story! Easy listen and one of the best Christian fiction books I’ve read in a while .

This book caught me by surprise. It was a entertaining story. This was definitely a well written, fun Christian fiction book. The Christian themes are not too heavy so it doesn't over power the storyline. The story is written well enough that if the Christian themes were removed the story still stands alone. The book also heavily deals with mental health (good, bad and ugly) and how it is viewed in different cultural communities.

I have never read a full length book in a day. I could not put the book down, I wanted to see what was going to happen. Needless to say, the book was finished in one day. It was just a standard uplifting, don't give and get your life together story.

I really enjoyed reading this book and have added the author to a fun favorite.
