I have to admit that this book took a while for me to get into. And because I tend to pick out books based on their cover, I was not aware of the religious aspects of this book which at times, I felt was too much for me. I kept putting this book aside but I am glad that I eventually finished it because it did have great meaning - the consequences of texting while driving, owning up to your mistakes and forgiveness.
There is a great story here! I do like how the ending came together but there were just so many times where it seemed to drag on while there were other times it seemed to be very rushed. Some of the characters I really loved & connected with while some just really got under my skin. As much as I believe that people can change for the better, I don’t believe they can change overnight like a few of the characters did. At the same time, I saw the promise of change in other characters which to me was more believable.
I did enjoy the message this book was giving.
I would rate this book a 3.5 but I am rounding up.
