 My Thoughts

I really liked the idea of this book but it didn't quite make it on my favorite list. I love the setting, it reminded me of home and small town/church life. The thing that really made this book worth it was how small town churches are struggling. Churches in general and losing people but in this book it portrays a pastor who is in the battle and what he goes through. A few of the other characters I didn't enjoy as much but otherwise Amy did a great job with her setting and topic, it just moved a bit slow for me.

Three stars.
