review 1: This book contains a story of two people who, when they were young and in high school, thought they were in love with one another. Flash forward years later when they meet again. He's trying to convince her that he's changed his playboy ways and she's trying to keep herself in check and trying to not get her heart broken by him again.Their story was full of angst on Meredith's part because she was convinced David hadn't change. David's angst came from not understanding why she was behaving the way she was and why she didn't understand that he wanted to reconnect with her.There is zero sex in the book obviously because it's a Christian romance. That's what makes this book a must read. You get a glimpse into the lives of several of Meredith's friends and coworkers and you're... more able to see how faith is something really wonderful to have.
review 2: 3.5 stars. The main character of the story, Meredith, almost ruined the story for me. In fact, towards the end I began to dislike her. I know she had qualms about David, but honestly she needed to get over them. Never annoy the reader by rehashing the same theme over and over. The plot of the book moved along at a good pace, but I felt at times there wasn't quite enough of it because most of it centered on what Meredith was doing: cooking food, sleeping, walking her dog, and a lot of that felt unnecessary.David I liked, despite his being a sports jock, a guy-type I typically don't care for. I would have liked more of his thoughts in the story. The Christian faith was well represented and worked into the story nicely. Sentence structure was fine with only a few minor errors. Meredith's personal thoughts were a little long-winded. Overall, a good story that I don't regret reading. less
