A Good Short Story.

Overall, I did like the book. It is a quick and fast paced read. One thing I wasn't a big fan of was the formalities in the names, even though it was sort of necessary to the story's setting. I also wish I would have gotten to know the characters more, instead of just their circumstances. I would recommend this book because it discusses at topic, which I don't always see in Christian literature.

I really liked this volume. The characters are so unique and the plot is fast paced. I can't wait to read volume 3.

This book was amazing and when I reached the last two chapters I was crying. This book showed me a lot about what a Godly relationship between man and a woman should look like. It taught me about forgiveness and to trust in God through the uncertainties in life. This book by Karen Kingsbury was amazing and I cannot wait to read another one of her novels!

This book was so good. I loved the character development between Bailey, Cody and Brandon. I loved how Bailey was the light of Christ of Broadway. I am so excited to read the last book in the series which is Loving.

(Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book!)

I have never highlighted so many paragraphs in a book in a long time. Cupid is a Procrastinator by Kate Hurley is a fantastic book. This book is on the topic of being single. I have read a number of books regarding the topic of dating and purity, but none of them have affected me the way in which this book has. Kate does a wonderful job at describing her life as a single woman and how that has affected her daily life. She also makes comparisons on what it may be like to be single in the world and to be single as a Christian. She also discusses the ways being single can be a good thing, but also the way in which single people can struggle. There are many, many parts of this book that I enjoy, but my favorites are the way in which Kate incorporates Bible passages. I know sometimes when I read the Bible, it is difficult for me to relate to some of the passages because the people in the Bible lived in a different time period than I do. Sometime I forget that they struggled with the same issues that people in the world are facing today. One of those struggles in loneliness, whether it's because a couple can't have kids or someone feels alone because of being different than others. No matter what the situation is Kate was able to make it relatable to the current 21st century. At the end of the book, this is not a spoiler, Kate writes how no matter what we are going through in this world our ultimate hope, peace and joy will be in heaven when we meet the Lord face to face and we can worship His name for forever. This book has changed my life for the better and it gave me a different perspective of my life of being a single woman in this time of my life. I highly recommend this book to any single person and it is a great reminder that our ultimate comfort and love is in God.

This book would have been a cute romance story, but the characters fell short to me. In my opinion there wasn't enough character development and if the story could have been longer that would have helped a lot. The story was a quick fun read.

I really enjoyed this devotional. There were great personal stories by the author that was mixed with Biblical stories. I also like that she gave the reader questions to go back and reflect on in the reading. This is a simple, but wonderful devotional that helps the reader to reflect on Biblical passages, but also their own life.
