How Can It Be? by Kelli Galyean
4.25
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 1/4 (4.25 stars)
Read: September 2024
Series: A Work in Progress, #1
Format: Kindle e-Book
Challenge Prompt: CNL’s #30 of 50, “a book that you pre-ordered”
Book #91 of 2024: This novel is the author’s debut so she is subsequently an NTM author also. The book cover has a pretty watercolour scene.
An early reader recommended this novel and the storyline appealed to me. I pre-ordered it and I’m glad that I took a chance. This is a very sweet story, albeit a difficult topic with the FMC having had an abortion 10 years prior, and before she committed her life to Christ.
I felt the author dealt with this delicate topic in a realistic manner and didn’t shy away from the trauma and difficulties that resulted from her parents ultimatum. I do wish the story would have included resolve with her parents for the selfish and cruel decision they forced upon her.
As much as I enjoyed the story, I did feel there was something lacking or missing somehow. It did feel a bit like the characters seemed younger than they were at times. Sometimes I felt like the story was going through methodical steps and was missing more character development and connectivity or something.
I did enjoy the community feel though it was a little too perfect at times. I quite enjoyed this novel and I look forward to the rest of the series.
