Faking Grace by Tamara Leigh

5.0

This book was one I could barely put down! There were so many good plotlines and I couldn't help but cheer for both Grace and Jack during the whole book!

It is a Christian book so it follows Grace as she tackles investigative reporting while working at a Christian magazine. She pretends to be a Christian to get the job and when her job at the newspaper wants her to investigate the magazine, her growing faith conflicts. She starts to learn more about her co-workers at the magazine and realize they are real people with real problems. And, with the help from her meddling grandmother and Jack, she begins to understand the love of Jesus. Or try to, at least.

I really enjoyed this book and was a little bit sad to say good-bye to Grace and Jack at the end. The book also comes with discussion questions.

My favorite secondary character has to be Jem, of course. She was battling anorexia for the second time but, with her friends' help, she got into a "rehab" program and even managed to snag a boyfriend!

My least favorite character has to be Tessie, who was Grace's "mentor" and was the one who held a grudge against Jack and the Christian magazine. She was bitter, ruthless, and downright mean to Grace!

All in all, a GREAT read! I would recommend this book to anyone!
