So I figured, even though i finished this book a few days ago, that since tonight I’m going to meet Trish, I’d review her book today. Wahoo!!
Firstly, I loved the book. I’m not too big on my faith – which is a little weird for me given that I was recently confirmed in the Catholic Church and went through the RCIA program, so I guess really, you could just say I’m still growing into it. I was a little skeptical that it was going to be strictly a preachy book about God but, I was very very wrong.
Trish’s writing is enjoyable, relatable, it’s emotional, rivetting and will make you laugh and cry and any book that can do both? Is amazing in my eyes.
In the book, she recounts failed relationships including an abusive marriage, finding herself and finding her relationship with God as a Christian. Through her involvement in the church she stops running away from her problems and learns to deal with them head on and just when you think she’s going to end up on her own with her relationship with god…turns out God had a happy ending waiting for her up His sleeve.
It’s hard not to feel a bit of compassion for Trish because in truth? We’ve all been there. We’ve all dated guys that don’t want to grow up, guys who break us down into bits of smithereens, and guys who just aren’t right for us. But, in all of our searches for mr. right, I bet few of us would ever consider asking God for the right man, and that is where her story is unique and brilliant in how she manages to share not just her story of finding mr. right? But also her story of finding her faith.
I give this book a 5 out of 5 because her story was told in such a lovable voice, it’s hard not to relate to her narrative and feel like you’re hanging out with a best friend talking about all the horrific tales of boyfriends past.
Go pick it up at your local bookstore or buy it on amazon. And if you’re in the DC area? She’ll be at Borders in Bailey’s Crossroad tonight. I’m taking multiple forms of transportation to get there and am TRES excited about meeting her and getting a signed copy myself!
