** spoiler alert ** 
 actual rating: 2.5 stars 
 I loved the premise of the book but towards the middle, everything slowed immensely for me. I wish I had more love for this but, the romance got in the way and things could have moved along quicker. The ending was TOO perfect but I suppose thats why they invented happy endings. 
 My other greivance was the heavily rliance on God and believing in God at all times. I respect that people will but at the same time, I didn't expect God's heavy presence in the book.
