I really enjoyed this book and found myself very compelled by the many twists and turns. It may be cheesy and slightly overplayed but I appreciated the philosophy and faith in the story. However, I did think it was slightly preachy at times, and the loose ends were wrapped up far too conveniently. All in all, it was an enjoyable read, but falls short of being truly meaningful because it’s so surface level and heavy handed.
