DEPRESSING!!
This was without a doubt the most depressing book I ever read. There was absolutely nothing happy about it. This book was strong on religious beliefs which led them to why they made the choices they made. I had no idea from reading the brief summary that this book was about perhaps leaning toward the Amish ways. I have nothing against that, but would have liked to have known that. The characters were the saddest, most miserable characters I have ever read about; none of them very likeable either. Becca, the main character cried on practically every other page. Warning, if you are depressed and looking for an uplifting novel, feel-good read, this is definitely not for you. It will not make you feel better regardless of how it ended which was also a disappointment. After going through all the misery with these characters; the story kind of just ended in a summary of sorts. Now I'm crying over the money I spent to purchase it and I am hesitant to read any of her other novels.
