I loved the journey that this book took me on. It read like a testimony and I loved the fact that we were given historical context to the characters and the impact that the past can have on a relationship. The characters for me felt flat however and if it wasn't for the fact that it was Christian, I don't know if I would've liked it. The writing at the beginning for me felt forced and sometimes the dialogue wasn't believable. I often found myself thinking that people don't talk like that.

Other than that, it was a quick read that was wholesome even with the darker themes in the background. It was enjoyable even with it's flaws.
