Run Time: 6 hrs and 19 mins
Summary:
Aaron and Erin Thibodeaux aren’t related, but they happen to have names that are pronounced the same way and the same odd last name. They meet at a summer camp, make a pinkie promise to marry if they’re both unattached and old (26??).
Additional Comments:
- I’m going to start with this (Christian romance) isn’t my go-to genre.
- I’ve got no issues with the values presented in the book. Wish more books held to them. It did belabor the point a few times though. Most notably, Misty’s conversation with Aaron at the camp reunion of sorts.
- I enjoyed the little bits of background on Erin and Aaron later. I missed the connection between Erin’s boss’s brother being one of her failed dates, but that was kind of glossed over. It’s also not a huge point. Their reactions did seem a tad overdone though.
- The Erin and Aaron thing I can easily buy. The fact that they both happen to have the same weird last name, not so much. If they were both Smith, sure. Apparently, it’s a prominent French surname. Good to know.
- There are a few other coincidences that had to happen to move the plot forward. They’re handled very well. (Jacky and Jackie)
- I liked that it’s not set in the modern world, so it’s a time without cell phones.
- Narrator’s performance is good. Kinda hated the voice she used for Russell, but he wasn’t in there enough to become a problem.
- I had to stop listening for a while at the third act comedy of errors part. It works for the story, but the amount of times the two MCs jumped to conclusions was disturbing.
- Story is predictable but satisfying.
- I enjoyed that the author worked in some action near the end.
- Content Warnings: None. It’s sickeningly sweet. Totally kid-friendly.
Conclusion:
If you’re in the mood for sweet Christian romance and don’t mind coincidences, give this one a chance.
