Wow! I loved this so much that I had to jump in the day after reading it to give my review! We just read this in my English class, and my classmates and I all loved it!

It's a lot like Bridget Jones, so if you are a fan of the diaries, you should like this. It's from the heroine's point of view. She's witty and self-deprecating as she tries to find her voice and truly go after what she wants in life.

What I appreciated the most is the fact that while the writer is a Christian, the book doesn't come across as preachy. Instead, she exposes some of the hypocrisy in the church, and her struggles to be a female reverend. It gave me great ideas about how I could incorporate my own faith into my writing without having a particular agenda, but simply showing how it fits into my day-to-day life. She is far from perfect, and it's great to watch her journey. Enjoy!

Cassandra Yes, this was one of my favorite romance novels! The story was lighthearted, funny and sweet. I'm going to see if I can find more of her books.
