The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck

This was not good. I was really looking forward to a Christian novel that focuses on ~real~ topics. But, Francine Rivers (who is the only author I have found that does this correctly) is too long and sometimes dark. So, I also wanted something light hearted. This sucked. I don't know how it has such a high rating. The romance was extremely fast, the Christian aspect wasn't really explained and neither was the struggles except for “I know that's not how a Christian would act, but I've prayed about it and made my peace with it” instead of the struggle of HOW a Christian should act and WHY.

Also, did not agree with their interpretation of God's plan for us (His plan is salvation, no soul mates, nothing like that. Goodbye). The Insta-love was gag worthy and the romance itself was not a joy to read. They literally got married within MONTHS because they couldn't keep their hormones in check. I have a couple Bible verses to refute Ben's on how he thought that was okay and as a Pastor that is a bad example. I did not enjoy this read and it made me angry.
