Rating and reviewing this was much more difficult than I expected. I both loved and hated this story. I cried harder than I think I’ve ever cried in a book. The topics are HEAVY and heartbreaking. But the writing was so incredibly beautiful.
It’s been some time since I’ve read anything in the Christian genre. And I find myself struggling to find ways to recommend it to any nonbeliever reader friends. Because there were so many times throughout this book I found myself kicking and screaming “it’s not fair. This is too much!”
The trauma and heartbreak this book brings feels never ending a lot throughout this book. But the all consuming, unrelenting and redeeming love shown throughout this book was so well written 🥺
If I were rating this book based on the emotional rollercoaster it put me through and some of the horrific topics it covered I don’t think I could have given it 5 stars. But it’s just so well written and beautiful I had to set my mended heart aside for the review lol
