The Sweet by and by – Book Review

January 3, 2010 Lana


The Sweet By and By
By Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck
ISBN: 1595544895
Written about a girl named Jade who is about to get married.  She is a lady who loves antiques and like them, she has a past of her own.  Before she gets married, she has to clean up some of her own cobwebs.
 
After reading a few chapters, I thought to myself, why am I still reading this?  There were a couple of times, I was surprised at the story, but most of the time I felt like this was a book that was written in a hurry, without much thought to the plot.  What most bothered me the most, was the climax.   I really think that the story lost something and could have had more details.

On a scale of 5 stars, I give the book a 2.  It had clean language and the message overall was redemptive.  However, this was a book written for adults because of some of the mature content.

I cannot recommend this book, even though my heart wanted to do a 5 star review.

This book was courtesy of being a member of Thomas Nelson’s Book Review Blogger program.
Blessings to you!!!  You are loved!!!

    I hate when I really want to like a book and just can’t!!! I put off reading Dan Browns new one because I am just not sure how I will like it!!

May the LORD bless you and keep you; May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He turn His face toward you and give you peace. Feel free to leave a comment - we LOVE to hear your thoughts! ~Blessings to you!~ ~You are so loved!~ ~Lana (Like Banana)~
