Amy Inspired by Bethany Pierce
ABOUT BOOK:
Amy Gallagher is an aspiring writer who, after countless rejections, has settled for a career as an English professor in small-town Ohio just to pay the bills. All her dreams suddenly start to unravel as rejections pile up—both from publishers and her boyfriend. But just as Amy fears her life is stuck in a holding pattern, she meets the mysterious, attractive, and unavailable Eli.
She struggles to walk the fine line between friendship and something more with Eli, even as staying true to her faith becomes unexpectedly complicated. When secrets, tragedy, and poor decisions cause rifts in Amy's relationships, she must come to terms with who she's become, her unrealized aspirations for her life, and the state of her faith. Can she dare to hope that she will find love and fulfillment despite it all?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?
I have to say, this wasn't one of my favorites. This was one of my books from Bethany House. I mean I enjoyed it, but I would necessarily go out and tell my 10 closest friends, 'You have to have it'. I thought it was kind of slow in getting started. And then when it did get to the good part...It was like the end of the book.
Would I say , Never pick up this book? No, by all means, it was a good book. But it's not my favorite read of 2010! But I suggest, you pick up the book, and decide for yourself. :)

I received this book from Bethany House last year and reviewed it for them as well. I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't one of my faves ... more like one of those books that I'll read when I don't have anything else more interesting.
Happy Reading! =)
