A review by poplora
Vespertine by Indra Vaughn, Leta Blake
5.0
I read this for a 2nd time, and I pretty much choked up and cried all over again the entire way through. The beginning scene of this book is honestly one of the best things I have ever read. I got chills, *chills*, even though I read it for a second time.
I'm not a religious person at all. But this balanced it so well between two people on opposite sides of the religious spectrum. I never felt like Jesus was being forced down my throat, nor was Christianity beliefs really the main theme as weird as this sounds. It's not a 'come to jesus' book. Or a "atheist has a magical experience and believes in god again" book either. It's a very real, very gritty, and very sweet story with real people.
If the Christianity thing is making you hesitate, don't. Give it a shot.

Damn. I don't read Jesus-y books, but I saw reviews and took a chance.
So so so glad I did. So good.
