Summary: Not one of her Best
Review: Well, I'd really been expecting more when I bought this book as it was a single novel like Sophie's Heart, which I loved. But this book was really lacking a lot of the "stuff" that makes a story enchanting. It is well-written, yet I think the plot could use some more work. It was rather long, and I felt the characters were somewhat undeveloped. Most of the story revolved around everyday life, and when there were interesting events, I think they could have been developed to a greater extent.

Summary: Typical Sugar and Spice
Review: Well, it's no surprise that Lori Wick's latest book is another "heartwarming" romance. In some ways it was a pleasant read...a blissful and unique Hawaii setting and a budding romance. Yet, this book has the typical "laundry list" of flaws-slow-moving plot, predictable ending, and too-good-to-be-true characters. Sure, we all like Lilly, the shy missionary's daughter, and Gabe, the "hero" of the story, but they just aren't convincing and real enough to make this truly a good read. Although I think this is a "fun" book, I certainly wasn't overly impressed with it.

Summary: Too Unrealistic
Review: What a disappointment! The characters in this book are just too one dimensional. Lilly was entirely too naive for a 24 year old. Had she never been to the US? I've visited the mission field in several countries and would like to know what sort of missionary never comes home on furlough for 24 years.I like happy endings, but this was too unreal throughout.

Summary: Too Good To Be True
Review: While I enjoyed the book, I found the characters 'too good to be true.' There was no adventure, and there were no challenges. Everything worked out for everyone. I am a Christian and love to read inspirational stories, but this book has too much sweetness. At the end the babies came too fast.
