Redeeming Love (Movie Tie-In): A Novel

I'm in a significant reading slump this year. More so than I've been in a very long time.
I'm going to try to read some books that I normally wouldn't have at the top of my list, see if that sparks something. Perhaps taking a break from the routine will reignite my passion for reading.

Meh. Took eight months to read this book. I thought it actually started out pretty well, but it got preachier and more absurd as it went on. There were some definite surprises in how the characters dealt with some heavy topics (regarding victim blaming, shame, forgiveness), and there were other times they fell into line with the more conservative thoughts of the time (ie, gender roles, duty to husband, etc.) Some things I really liked about the story and the writing, and some things that made me just want to throw the book.
