I really, really wanted to love this book. I hoped I would fall in love with Ashley Stockingdale the same way I fell in love with Macy Moore or Elle Garvey, but it was not to be. I tried so hard to understand Ashley, to relate to her, to cheer for her...I just couldn't. Maybe I set myself up for failure...I was expecting Billerbeck's writing to mirror that of Rachel Hauck and yet they have two completely different writing styles, different ways of developing a character and telling their story. Sure, they are both Christian chick-lit writers, but that's where the similarities end. (

I found this main character whinny and self absorbed. I didn't finish the book , I stopped half way thru. Didn't have the patience to wait for her to mature and find happiness. I read other books by this author and enjoyed them, I will try this one another time when I may be more in the mood.

A really cute book! I enjoyed the main character's morals, values, sense of humor and sense of style. I really enjoyed the humor and deep personalities of the characters in this book and the cute storyline. The characters reminded me of people I know. I liked that this was a Christian fiction book even though I haven't read one of those in a long time. It was a breath of fresh air. I'll definately read the sequel and any subsequent sequals to this book. A good read! (

Ashley Stockingdale is a 31-year-old patent attorney in Silicon Valley. She's cute, eligible, Christian---and sitting home alone most weekends. Until she decides to go for it! But what's "it" . . . a promotion? A new wardrobe? The handsome doctor she recently met? Will Ashley discover the difference between her "wants" and her "needs"?
