I gave up, I cannot finish this book. I tried to continue reading but I could not force myself to. I was just completely done with it. I have nothing I gave up, I cannot finish this book. I tried to continue reading but I could not force myself to. I was just completely done with it. I have nothing against this author, I loved her book, Love Finds You in North Pole, Alaska. It actually is on my all time favorite list. I absolutely despise giving 1 and 2 star ratings to books but I honestly cannot give this book a better rating.
The characters fell flat for me and even though there was some "development" it wasn't well written (at least in my opinion). Also both characters have some trauma in their lives due to things that happened and even though I know that God can heal someone completely, I still felt like Austin's recovery was a bit cliche. I am huge on redemption stories and God healing people from trauma and stuff but I still felt like this book kinda feel flat and was not realistic in this aspect.
Another thing was that Austin was actively pursing Mercy even though she told him numerous times that she did not share his faith and that she was pretty much an atheist. This did not sit right with me. Should Austin be showing the light of Christ to Mercy and be her friend?, Yes, but he should not be pursing a romantic relationship with her until after she shares his faith, which she does at the end but I've heard that, that's also a bit cliche and kinda shallow.
Another thing was just Austin and Mercy's relationship is general. Even if they both were God fearing people, their relationship still would have been SUPER cliche and had no developmental at all which was super annoying.....
Again I have absolutely nothing against the author but I feel like she took on way too much with this series. I think she should stick to cheesy romances that aren't as deep and challenging to write....more
I literally am not even half way through this book when she’s already hooking up with the guy who’s the love interest. *pukes*. I did not need tDNF!!
I literally am not even half way through this book when she’s already hooking up with the guy who’s the love interest. *pukes*. I did not need to read that!!! Why do so many YA books have to have sex in them? All I wanted was a clean sports read to read! This book also had a lot of language and crude jokes. Because I’m on a swim team with a lot of interesting people I’m used to this so I’m able to over look it but once we get to implied sex I’m done.
I highly DONT recommend this book. Not unless you like that kind of stuf.....this book was just not good for me.
