I am one of those people who really, really want to be a reader. So getting myself to read is a hard task. But this book was so easy and quick to read. I loved every second of it. The author describes the scenery so well that you feel a chill go up your back as you are reading about the winter scenes. He uses words that are quick and easy to read, adding just enough detail without going overboard.
I loved the characters. Both Ben and Ashley are beautifully complicated and flawed. Since this book is written from the voice of Ben, I found myself constantly needing reminding that it was a man speaking... apparently most of the books I read are from a female perspective. I really loved the flow and simplicity of this book. Each step that the characters took, I took. When they cried, I cried. I tried so hard to keep my Christian perspective during some of the scenes, and even found myself angry with the characters.
The author does a great job of inputting God and Christian values throughout this book. They aren't loud and shoved in your face but rather subtle. He adds a human touch to them. We all face hard times in our marriages and life and I think he did a great job of addressing these subjects and keeping God there. I would highly recommend this book!
