This is one of my favorite books so far this year! "What if life isn't about that big moment, but a lot of little moments that add up along the way?" I've often wondered this very thing ? A very well written page turner that really makes you think. A how to manual on how to actually live your life, not just be alive. Just an excellent book! A huge thanks to author Lindsay Harrel for sending it to me, it will be shared. ?

I prefer genres about family, sensitive topics, and storylines that provoke personal thought and reflection, and this fit into each of these categories. The characters were constructed and presented in such a talented way and I felt their sadness, their defeat, their courage, their hope, and their love. Though there were multiple storylines occurring, they were entwined easily and seamlessly. This was an easy and enjoyable read!

My oldest babysat today so the Mr. and I could have a little time out of the house. We had a wonderful lunch and I got to spend some time in B&N and an indy bookshop and came home with these two that have been on my wishlist for a bit.

Reading this ARC provided by Netgalley while my boys play with friends at the park on this sunny (but unfortunately not very warm) day.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through #NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I adored this book. It was heartwarming and had me almost ugly crying at times. It also makes me want to fulfill my own bucket list. Faith and God are brought up quite a bit, but that didn‘t bother me at all, I just loved everything about it.

I got this #arc from #netgalley and I figured it was romance, but turns out it‘s religious fiction. It‘s not in your face about it though and so far it‘s really good.
