I liked this book, but I couldn’t seem to love it. I liked both characters but never truly felt their chemistry. 

Also, the bits with God could end up on the preaching side, which could take me out of the book a bit. Still, I respected it, because it felt like a realistic legitimate way a person deals with grief. 

The grief part was beautifully explained and written. 

The most difficult part was at the end, as SaBrina fell short as a villain. She felt very one dimensional, which is how quite a few characters ended up feeling. 

Overall, an interesting book and worth the read.
