review 1: Clearly this is a refreshing change from Arthur's novel. Her book usually follow the journey of 2 guys who have troubled past finding each other, but in Acts of Faith she follows her two past character in the first book ( Rey and Samuel ) on their way to adapt a new lifestyle: the one with Rey's long lost daughter in it. It's qiute fun to read because Arthur doeasn't write about her past character life after their novel so basically this is her abnormal sequel to the first one. As usual, she really highlighted the character's traits. Rey is very sweet and fun, "a total bottom" as Arthur may says. But this time, he also shows a father side, a very protective one and it certainly affects his relationship with Samuel- the tough-looking cop with not so much tough feelings and ... moreemotions. With Faith, Rey's daughter in their care-free life, troubles seem to find it way to their cosy home. I really love this book because Arthur for once gives us a chance to see how a gay couple raising a child looks like in her problematic world and how would it be different from a normal couple. As a bonus she also introduce us to David, Rey's business partner who makes Sam burns with jealousy all the time and no surprised at all, Arthur upcoming book's character. In all rounds, "Acts of Faith" is a great book for me which partly because I'm her fan and her writing style but besides all of that, it's a good book if you're looking for one that includes as I quote it "one protective ( and slightly jealous) police offcier, an angsty chef whose heart is in the right place( even when his actions backfire), an adorable little girl who turns their lives upside down. How great is that !
review 2: 3.5 starsI'm at a loss as to what to say about this book. I really liked it, but the things I liked are also the things which annoyed me. Rey and Sam have such a solid relationship but it's thrown when Faith enters their lives. The new arguments and stress they have were spot on, but the way they handled them was too perfect. One of them would be having a total meltdown and be terrified but then 5 minutes later they would be able to take a mental step back and see everything in a completely logical and rational way. They could see the reason for the other one's reaction with perfect clarity. Their quick turn around kind of annoyed me. The other thing was David. I'm going to assume that there is going to be a book about him coming soon. I felt like he was being pushed on me. The mystery of his past and his current actions was interesting but the way it was presented felt too fake. It was like watching a TV show with recurring product placement. I was interested in him but the way he was pushed on me turned me off a little bit.It is a good book and I did really enjoy it. There were just a couple things which kept pulling me out of the story and making it not quite believable. less
