Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-05 00:00:00 Tramaine Thomas Years ago, I randomly decided to watch the Christian film C Me Dance. I usually like Christian cinema; over the years, I've enjoyed films ranging from To Save a Life to Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. However, C Me Dance was absolutely awful; terrible acting, an inane plot, a preacher uttering a profanity...yeah, I don't think words can do justice as to what a train wreck it was. To this day, I consider it not only among the worst films I've ever watched, but also the absolute worst within the Christian genre, and I doubt any other flick will ever take that title. (If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.) Well, this book is like C Me Dance, but in literary form. The characters, especially Lillie, spend too much time doing nothing; the out-of-order chronology was annoying; the sexual details were far too lurid for a Christian novel, and made me feel like I was reading a trashy harlequin instead; the story takes far too long to get anywhere; and, well...yeah, this whole thing was a big mess. I've read some really good books by this author, but she bungled it with this one. If you like reading about wedding planning, I'd suggest the Weddings by Bella series by Janice Thompson. Now, those are some fun novels!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-17 00:00:00 Paul Thompson This is part of a reading challenge for me, and a new author. As I began I thought ok it's chick lit and Christian chick lit to boot. Neither are my normal genres. I was quite pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book and a pretty quick read. The main character, Lillie, is quite delightful & she has a bunch of quirky friends and an "out there" business. But that is not where my interest lay. Tacy her younger sister pulled at my heartstrings so much more & I REALLY wanted to know what happens to this poor gal: "I felt myself at the bottom of a hole, no rope or ladder to ensure my release." She is trapped by a very controlling husband and copes through her faith. Can't say too much more or it would spoil the unfolding of the story. Let's say both of the sisters narrate this tale and there was a revelation in Tacy's narration that made me have an AHA moment.
