I was pulled in immediately by the heroine's smart and humorous style. Her avid desire for a marriage proposal seems to teeter a bit into an obsession, but, of course, given the length and purpose of this tale, there isn't really time for Suzann to focus on other stuff, here. Besides, she's so decidedly funny, you can't help but to empathize with her.
Even for Christian Fiction, I thought the God-factor was spread on pretty thick. Not that I don't want to see God in a romance, but I wouldn't pick "Nearer, My God, to Thee" for wedding reception or honeymoon music, either. (And, no, that does not happen in the story!) Also, as Suzann narrates her tale in present tense, it seems that not all of her switches into past tense are intentional.
Still, this romantic little comedy makes a compelling case for love and commitment in a world where so many relationships go south. My e-reader wouldn't stand for such a thing, but if I could slap this book with a resounding high-five, I would. ( )
