Book Review: Never the Bride by Cheryl McKay and Rene Gutteridge

I've got a new favorite chick flick!  Based on Cheryl McKay's screenplay, Rene Gutteridge turned it into a delightful book that had me laughing.  When I saw that Kristin Billerbeck wrote a review on this book, I knew that I would like it.  Based on real life and real pain and real emotions, readers can all relate to the setting of this book.

Jessie Stone finds herself on the side of the road trying to change a tire.  She becomes frustrated with the fact that there's no man in her life who can help her do the things that come easily for a man.  After trying all of the "modern" ways of dating, Stone comes to the realization that God may have different plans for her.  What are they?  Will she be able to accept His plans over hers.  What if she doesn't really like God's plan?

I will warn you that this book isn't your traditional Christian book.  Some books tend to lean towards "the perfect life."  This book highlights some real issues and real problems people face.  God is apparent throughout the book, but it may be a little uncomfortable for those who like lovey circumstances tied in a bow instead of real life.
