Interesting.

A gripping and memorable story. There were a lot of chapters where the path of the main character goes downhill which was rather saddening and kept me feeling tense. I expected the twist and turn to the positive uphill (phew! at last!) and the waiting spoke of how to be in the uncertain times.

Enthralling tale of love and forgiveness

This story reminds me of how much I am forgiven daily and how much I am loved by God. I would recommend to everyone.

Woah!

Intense and painful but Absolutely Amazing!
At first I honestly thought it was gonna be a small town romance with the main character having to work on her faith throughout the whole story, but instead its a worldly, glitz and glam Hollywood behind the scenes while God is working on her and testing those who love her.
It explains that often the hardest thing to do is not to trust God with your life, but to trust Him to break those we love so that He can work in them.

I personally loved the sneak peek of what 1950s Hollywood 'Stars' had to go through to become what they were, that not all of them even enjoyed acting, and how many changed their names.

There was a lot of sensory detail in the intimacy scenes, which I understand since the difference between being used or wanted vs being loved had to be explained, but it was a bit much for me.

Other than that, I loved every part of it. Even the descriptive parts of the side characters' day to day interactions and experiences. The writer connected them all so perfectly that I didn't want to skip them.

My favorote characters were probably Mitzi( the no nonsense but passionate grandmother figure) and Murray, the Star's hairstylist who is more real than his clients.

Overall such a great story and so many morals along the way(

Amazing story

You will not read this book without getting moved by its amazing story and writings. You will be attached to the book instantaneous. If you want to read a well written book and want to sink in to a phenomenal story, Abra, Josua and pastor Zeak will have you set the coming days. It's an amazing book. Especially I would recommend every girl to read this book with a humble and open heart. Stay watchful, you might get changed eternally.

Some things never get old

The story of the redemptive love of God is timeless. Though quite a long story, the characters and narration helped the story come alive, couldn’t stop listening in the latter half and didn’t see the last plot twist coming! We are called to pray without ceasing, loved the emphasis on what we can always do for our loved ones.

I will read whatever Aunty (I don't know her personally) writes!

What a read. Aunty Francine writes godly men like a dream. They make you wonder what Jesus was like on earth. You could never misunderstand humanity and redemption. Un-put-downable.

Compelling from the very start

I engaged with this book immediately. It was thought provoking, sensitive and heart-rending. I loved it and feel a little lost now it is over
