Coming Home Book

Jessica finds herself returning to her tiny hometown in Colorado on a whim after finishing grad school. She returns with mixed feelings since her parents died years ago and she debates facing her grandmother who played a bitter role in both their deaths. While there, she runs into Andy, her girlhood best friend/crush and naturally, romantic feelings resurface. This book has a great plot and a bit of mystery with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the author does a less than perfect job of delivering and the supposed "mystery" is trivialized and a bit too easy to unravel. The crucial culmination of events in the end is just a little too perfect as well. On top of all that, the author includes details about the two main characters' religious doubts and subsequent conversions to Christianity which, in my mind, were just a little too simplistic and forced. But despite all that, it was a pretty good book.
