To Have and To Hold

I read this book as it was the first that was offered to me through a book reviewer program. It's not exactly my style, so I likely won't offer as favorable a review as some others.

I didn't like: The plot was about as predictable as a Hardy Boys novel, with a smattering of romance thrown in. I had the story line predicted and key characters pegged correctly from about the third chapter.

I liked: The authors obviously did their research. Real people and places are woven in nicely with the fictional.

Overall, I'd recommend this book for a young teen audience. It's a decent, wholesome read, and it could potentially be a springboard for discussion.

Disclaimer: This book was sent to me free of charge by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion. They didn't require a positive review, so everything I've said here is my own opinion.
