Imperfect Love by Rebecca Talley, LDS Blog Tour & Giveaway!
Imperfect Love
Lauren Wilson is well on her way to her happily-ever-after. She has a career she loves, a husband she adores and a baby on the way, but a devastating diagnosis changes everything. The life she's built suddenly crumbles around her when her husband insists she choose—the baby or him. Returning to her small hometown to rebuild her shattered life, Lauren crosses paths with Ethan Campbell, the man who stole her teenage heart. The old attraction is still there, but Lauren won't admit it to anyone—least of all herself. Her only priority is providing a life for her child, and she can't afford to get it wrong. Ethan is confusing everything, including stirring up feelings she’s not prepared to face. Will she spend her life raising her baby alone or is the family she's always wanted finally within her reach?
My Review:
Imperfect Love really grabs the reader's emotions and I was completely attuned to how Lauren felt in her relationship with her husband. Then when she finds out the news about her pregnancy, Talley does a wonderful job of capturing every emotion that Lauren goes through. When she finds out that the baby may have problems, I wanted to cry with her. Talley really packs strong emotions and feelings into this book! I could feel the pain, the heartache, and the indecision that Lauren was feeling. I could feel her frustration with her husband working long hours and their disagreements over the baby. And when Lauren made the ultimate decision about her baby, I cheered for her yet wanted to cry about it at the same time for what she would lose over it..her marriage. Imperfect Love is not a fluffy love story, it isn't a typical romance novel at all. In fact, the romance is such a minuscule part of the book. It is a book about choices, courage and love. This book is a journey. I found it to be a wonderfully emotional journey that I was glad to be able to read. I recommend this to anyone who likes substance to their books! Bravo to Rebecca Talley!
