Tandie's Reviews > Meg's Melody

This was a sweet, clean Christian romance. Although it was church specific, I think other Christian readers would love it. I enjoyed both Matt and Meg, and the writing was good. The author created nice romantic tension with small things, like whispers and hand holding.

The two other guys interested in Meg were way over the top jerks. Having them both completely disinterested in Meg’s baby was unrealistic, especially since one of them was the ex-husband father!

I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (whew! That’s a mouthful.) depicted in this story, and I saw one glaring error. Okay, it’s nitpicking, but there is no way Meg would have no food or help after having a baby. Since her Mom and Matt both go to her church, members would be aware of a new mother. One thing I can tell you about my church is that we feed the heck out of anyone in a hard situation like that! When someone finds out about a problem or a need, we tell each other and organize meals or whatever kind of help they need. It’s kind of our thing.

Despite some problems, this ended up being a satisfying read. It dealt with topics including grief, divorce, feelings of low self-worth, and ultimately, healing. Despite the heavy subject matter, it wasn’t depressing. Seeing Meg realize her own value was wonderful and relatable.

I upped my 3 stars to 3.5 and rounded up to 4 because the story made me feel good.
