Stay with Me by Becky Wade
5.0

There’s a reason I read every Becky Wade book as soon as possible … LOL! She’s such an incredible author; I feel every new release is better than the last, and my next favorite.

Stay With Me has a different feel to it than other Wade books; at times it read almost more like Beth Vogt’s. (Not a bad thing, because, well, have you read Vogt’s Thatcher Sisters series? Incredible!)

The mystery of Genevieve’s parents’ past plays a larger role in Stay With Me than I expected — and I loved it. Wade could easily write a solely mystery book/series and be very successful!

Sam and Genevieve are both very relatable characters. Sam maintains Wade’s swoonworthy-hero norm (yay), and shows excellent character development, as does Genevieve. Stay With Me deals with some challenging topics, and invites the reader to ask questions about truth, forgiveness, and going public with weakness (and, frankly, sizable failure). While I’ve not gone through similar situations myself, I felt both Genevieve’s and her parents’ struggles were dealt with authentically, graciously, and tastefully. Same with Sam’s past and the Miracle 5 stories interspersed between chapters.

I received a copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
