A review by trisha_thomas
The Chapel Wars by Lindsey Leavitt

4.0

"We're all messed up," I said. "I like life is just about finding the right people to be messed up with."

I read the synopsis of this book and just thought 'meh' - it didn't really stand out to me. Couple that with the cover and I wasn't too excited but willing to give it a try.

I'm so glad I did.

This is an adorable story about dreams and goals and numbers but also love and expectation and the messy reality that is life. It doesn't all end well, people die and divorces happen and you never get to answer the question "Why?"

Holly is a numbers girls and always has tight control. Dax is the unknown boy next door. But her grandpa wrote a letter to him for her to deliver.

and thus the story begins. It's an adorable tale. I giggled, I was sad, happy, and completely taken in by this family and this story. They are quirky and odd, but worth every page turn. I hope you enjoy it too!
