Sep 26, Kim Justice rated it liked it Shelves: Author Rebekah Lyn has wrote a very good story line. Her main character Julianne Finnegan struggles with several real life situations. Even though I did enjoy reading Julianne for the most part I was just not really into the book.
I must say that it did not hold my attention as well as I felt I was expecting it too. The theme was good, the characters where good. Just that, an okay read. And just a note here to say that this is only my opinion, you must take a chance a read for yourself. Any one struggling with the same issues may receive more from the book than I did.
So due to the above I am giving this book a Breath of Life Rating of: I received this book in exchange for my review. The opinions are mine. And your opinion may differ. Sep 10, Heather rated it liked it. I thought this author had a nice idea, but the execution very much was missing. For instance, one major issue was a overformality in the characters' speach.
They said "I will" instead of "I'll" all the time, making the book seem so formal. Also, among other things, I thought the religious of the aspect of the book should have been explored much earlier, as far as Julianne's character went. Sep 17, Brandi Davis rated it it was ok. Another book I read because it was free on my kindle. The book was okay just not my cup of tea. Sep 18, Karen Gibson rated it liked it Shelves: I enjoy Christian fiction but like to see the faith of the characters more integrated into the book rather than revealed in short "religious" segments.
Apr 17, Beverly rated it really liked it Shelves: Julianne always felt she was growing up in her big brother's shadow. Michael the overachiever, Michael the success story.

It is well written, and flows easily from chapter to chapter. It is definitely a character-driven tale which, for the most part, is an easy going moderately paced work of fiction set in modern day Alexandria. The relationship between Julianne and Oliver is comfortable and predictable. The entire story is a pleasant read. Some may find this novel too static, but I found it cozy and warming. It makes for a good break from books which pump up our adrenaline in suspense. There is a light spiritual element in which Oliver introduces God to Julianne. He lets her know how she can find peace that passes all human understand with Him.
Her response is open ended, and Oliver does not apply any pressure. We get the impression, however, that this is just the beginning for her. I found the conclusion soul satisfying. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary review copy of this book from Body and Soul Publishing on behalf of the author.
I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. Apr 05, Paula Lynn rated it really liked it. I learned more about the artistic world of theatre and what goes into promoting the productions and drawing people in to attend the performances. I appreciated the research required to weave that information into the scenes in order to make them come alive in a way that seems real and tangible.
Throughout the book there were some light moments that made me laugh and there were times I ached for Julianne as she deals with her own inner turmoil. She has a stubborn streak, like a lot of us do, and I commiserated with her need and desire to prove herself and make it on her own without a lot of help from those around her. The characters are real and full of the same emotions we all experience. The characters learn to trust God in the midst of their questions and turn to His Word for answers. Her book is filled with happy as well as stressful and confusing times — a lot like our own lives, when we have our ups and downs and questions.
Reading it is an emotional journey. I think those who take the time to read this inspirational romance will enjoy it. Mar 22, Diane Rapp rated it it was amazing.
