Book Review: Amy Inspired

Wow!  When I was given the opportunity to review this book for Bethany House Publishers, I hesitantly chose this one as one of the ones I wanted to review.  To be completely honest, the book didn't intrigue me because the cover wasn't that pretty or telling of the book.  Because of that reason, I put off reading this book and now I wish that I had picked it up right away.  It was such a good book to read and I could see a little bit of myself in Amy.  Amy makes lists and then lists of lists and then lists of lists of lists.  She has hit 30, has not been published, has no boyfriend, and now Zoe (her roommate and friend), her mother, brother, and even co-workers are moving on without her.  She isn't for sure about her purpose and gets stuck in the monotonous routine.  When Eli moves in with them because of his place being infested with bedbugs, she realizes that she likes him.  However, he is dating Zoe's former roommate, Jillian.  When they do admit their feelings to each other, Amy gets scared because he resembles some things of her past, or so she thinks.  The big question is whether or not she will allow herself to change, not just physically and emotionally, but also spiritually.  She has to first come to realize how deep her faith in God really is.
