I never would’ve picked this book up based on the cover or the subject matter. However I saw so many people recommending it that I added to my ‘to read’ list and boy am I glad I did. I loved this book! It was real and had punch. I enjoyed the genuine dialogue and thoughts of the characters. Claire especially behaved like a real person dealing with this difficult situation, she was hurt and angry. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about this book. God was the centre focus in these trying circumstances, unapologetically Christ centred. My favourite read so far this year. Due to the realness and great storytelling.
