A little too heavily focused on Christianity for my taste but it still had some good nuggets and things to reflect on in my own life.

It was fine. Very predictable, but very quick. A nice light read between harder things.

I know a lot of people love this book and I wanted to love it too. It was just okay for me. If the main conflict of a romance is just, I didn't tell the person my feelings, I'm generally just bored. And I feel like the book could have been 100 pages shorter. It was a slog there in the middle for me.
