Honestly though, it was so much more than a romance...at least for me. It's based off of the Book of Hosea, which I didn't really know anything about. All of the lessons that she writes into it, the truths, those are the parts that got to me. Sure there are some cheesy parts [naming the place Pair-a-Dice is one example. I cringed every time i read it bc I thought it was such a stupid town name], but reading about this woman's hurt and afflictions and her struggles... I mean, it's about every single one of us; how basically we are all selling our bodies/souls to find worth from worldly things, and not being able to fully rely on God because we are shameful and undeserving or think we have to perform works to gain His favor. I don't know...it was just what I needed to read right now. it’s a novel, and I guess a Christian romance. Honestly though, it was so much more than a romance…at least for me.

I was under the impression it was a "Christian romance," which is why I've avoided it... So is that a novel or a nonfiction book?

I don't think I've ever cried reading a book until I read this one. I've been wanting to read it again, but I'm afraid of what it will do to me. The last time I read it, I stayed up almost all night three nights in a row to finish it (slow reader). It’s the best book I’ve ever read.

It's really hard for me to like them, compared with things I just stumble across on my own. Oh well! I have the same problem with recommendations.
