review 1: I won a copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. I must say, I entered to win this on a lark. I liked the title, because anyone who knows me might agree I am not what you would call a big fan of love. To be honest, I didn't know it was a Christian book. I suppose I should have paid better attention to the description. There is a lot of scripture in this book, and I do not feel like it applies to me at all, as I am not the most spiritual person. However, I can definitely see how this book would appeal to Christian young adults, what with the catchy title and cute illustrations.Perhaps my favorite chapter is chapter 25, the one regarding abuse. It is short and gets to the point--a point I think everyone, Christian or not, should take to heart. So overall, I would rec... moreommend this to Christian young adults who need a quick, easy read about love and relationships with first-hand advice given by a Christian couple.
review 2: This review is coming out at a perfect time. With Valentines Day a couple days away, there's no time like present to discuss relationships. That's exactly what this book is about.I find most of the information in the book to be believable, however, I do also believe that this book won't pertain to every one. Each person is different, so each relationship must be as well. I am happy that these tips worked for Hayley and Michael, but it may not work for you, so don't live for it. Learn from it.The one criticism I have is how jumbled the thoughts were inside the book. In the middle of a paragraph, it jumps to some cute drawing with tips inside, then you confusingly find your paragraph again. Happened a little too much for my liking.I have to say though, I really loved the way the authors spoke candidly while writing. It was almost like having a conversation, not reading. (Minus the blips in paragraphs here and there.)All in all, this book gets a 3/5 from me. Some will love it, and others will hate it. Really you have to decide for yourself. less
