My thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book.
It's inspired by Queen Esther's story from the Bible, yet is a story all its own. It has humor and romance similar to Jenny B. Jones wonderful YA series'. It also a quick and easy read. (I read it in e-book form in just a few days. It usually takes me a week or so to read an e-book.)
Addy is a great main character. I related to her struggles, hopes, and journey to find God's will for her life. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for her and her friend Kara McKormick in Starring Me.
I reccommend this if your looking for a cute book to read, especially for Valentine's Day.
My rating : 3.5
Always enjoy Krista's books, but I haven't read this one yet. Love the sound of it though and that it's inspired by Esther. Always one of my favorite Biblical stories. :)
