My Stubborn Heart by Becky Wade - Book Review

7/20/2012

I LOVE this book! I didn’t want to put it down. This character driven novel draws you into the lives of Kate and Matt so well that you come away thinking they are ‘real’ people. Don’t let the semi-cheesy prologue fool you…this book is definitely a winner. Wade commands the simple plot through witty dialogue and masterful character development. This author is definitely on my favorite list, and I hope she hits yours too.

In an unlikely circumstance Kate meets a mysterious and emotionally tortured celebrity. The hero of the story becomes recluse after tragedy rips his life apart. Kate stubbornly works to tear down the walls that Matt has put up around his heart. You will find yourself rooting for the girl next door to get past the thick armor of this mysterious celebrity and share the hope that comes through her faith in Christ.

Have you read this book? Did you like it, love it or hate it? I would love to hear what you thought!

I LOVED this book too and completely agree with your review. :) I felt like I wanted to meet the characters and then had to reind myself...oh yeah...it's fiction.
