This was a very good, very quick read. It was predictable, but there was still a good story here. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. ( )

Couldn't put it down. One of my favorites. 5 stars from beginning to end. ( )

What would you do to save your marriage? Caleb and Catherine's marriage goes from having no hope to being a lifetime commitment when Caleb agrees to take on the forty day "Love Dare" his father gives him. ( )

I found out after I started reading this book that it was written after the screenplay for the movie, rather than before. The book does kind of read like a movie. It doesn't have the deepest dialogue and the characters are not as fleshed out as they normally are in books I read. Normally I don't even enjoy Christian fiction that much because they just seem a little light and don't ring quite true for me. On that note I would have given this book, which was a really quick read, only three stars. The reason I didn't and why I did enjoy this book so much? This book has a powerful message, much more powerful than, for instance, "The Shack." I could relate to this book so much having felt like I have had these same feelings and been through some of these same situations. I don't think the book was overly "preachy" either. I know it made me stop and think about my marriage commitment. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. I got a little weepy reading it. ( )
