Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-17 00:00:00 Bret Bolen While the book was good and entertaining overall, I was very disappointed with the guy she ended up with. Don't want to spoil it for those of you that haven't read it. But, I was happy that I didn't see it coming. Overall, I think Poppy is a tough character to write for romance, since she comes across as very know-it-all.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-10-17 00:00:00 Robert ackermann More commentary from me on what a Christian novel SHOULD be like... In real life, Christians have daily struggles in living out their faith. This book completely failed to address any of those struggles, even when they would have entered the plot very easily. Here's a conflict that Billerbeck set up: Natural health nut Christian girl meets hot Christian plastic surgeon. There's definitely chemistry, but girl hesitates because his unnatural concepts of health and beauty clash with her own. She doesn't seem to notice the fact (which is glaringly evident to the reader) that he doesn't act at all Christ-like. Then she falls in love with some other guy who isn't at all into her health thing either, whose faith goes completely unmentioned, and who buys her a diamond ring "the size of a golf ball." She goes for the latter. Really obvious Christian novel conflicts present themselves: Girl meets boy, there's chemistry, but he doesn't live out his faith, so she has to decide if he's really a good guy for her. Or, girl falls for both a wealthy, worldly guy and a poorer, Christ-like guy--both of whom are quite dashing--and has to do some serious thinking about what she's looking for in a man. Anyway, all that being said, I'll probably go back to the library and look for the other book in the set. Sigh. I'm like that.
