This one started out laugh-out-loud funny! That's why I bought it- I couldn't put it down at the bookstore. The whole way home, my friend and I took turns reading it out loud to each other and cracking up hysterically from the descriptions and the funny situations and just the way that the main character thinks!
But the more I read it, the less funny and the more serious it became. It was a very good story, morally speaking, with a good message and all that jazz. But it was also rediculously un...more

I loved the way Cheyenne's father mentors the male lead (can't remember his name) in how to be a good head-of-household. Cheyenne has a lot of faith and courage. I can see her praying pretty much non-stop in her mind, as she ponders what to do with her boyfriend. He just doesn't know how to be... but he's willing to try and to learn.
My first impressions of Jack Weyland's books were of Charly and how things turn out beautifully always... well, they don't always turn out beautifully or even...more

I read this book in one of my "can't find anything to read" spells and because my sister had just read it and said it was good. When I started reading it became apparent really fast that it was a great book that showcased problems faced when one marries outside of the church and is a strong member who is trying to have there spouse with them in the gospel.

I always like a Jack Weyland novel, and although this one was good and mildly entertaining, it didn't have the same "umph" to it as his other books. It didn't really speak to me, even though I related to many issues in the book, I did not feel as if it had helped me in any way. However, for a quick, easy read and for a few laughs, it is okay.

Jack Weyland was my bishop when I went to BYU-Idaho. When I went into a interview with him once I brought this book book with me into his office and got it signed. It was fun to have him as a bishop.

Um, do yourself a favor and just skip this one. Not a great plot, characters who don't stay true to their own literary voices, um, not really worth reading.

I enjoyed this read...but it dragged on a bit and though I really enjoyed the characters, their ending didn't come soon enough--it took too long to get "there."
