Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-08 00:00:00 Kent Yoshida This is probably my favorite book out of all of Jennie Hansen's. It is set in the Manti/Ephraim area, where I lived until I moved last year. I enjoyed being able to see the area where the book was taking place while I read it. It is a believable story and I loved the characters.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-06 00:00:00 SAMUEL SWEET This was a book that I started years ago but only got about 20 pages in and never got around to finishing... until this past month. Overall, it is a very charming novel with a lot of relatable yet dramatic concepts. The book's main setting occurs in the Sanpete Valley of Utah, which is a very special place for my family, so I attached myself to this book in that aspect. Playing off of the Utah location, Jennie Hansen incorporates prominent themes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and makes that one of the leading conflicts for the main character, Jacey Matthews. After just having read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, the cancer element is also prevalent in this book as well, frightening characters like George--the romantic interest--because Jacey hides her cancer from the folks she's not well-acquainted with (meaning everyone else besides close family). The book is written from an omniscient point of view, which I both like and dislike; I enjoy it because I can understand all of the characters thoughts and feelings deeper than the dialogue, but I find it frustrating as well because I can identify easy solutions to conflicts that the characters can't see, like the tension between Jacey and George for most of the book. This will be one of the few books that I'll rate less than five stars, four out of five, just because it didn't feel as gripping as it could have been in some parts. I recommend this book to fans of sappy romance novels, especially those of the faith-based variety.
