Not Like Other Girls x1,000 but it’s self-aware and mocking… Very different. A little contrived, and I don’t know if I like or hate the hero, but Yara is fun.
I’m embarrassed to admit that Atheists Who Kneel and Pray has been sitting on my kindle for nearly two years. What was I thinking? This book is incredible! I loved everything about this book. Okay that’s not true. I HATED PETRA! I’m not going to give her any more attention than she deserves. Let’s talk about Yara and David. So many times while reading, I wanted to scream at Yara to get out of her own head, but I know there are people in this world that tend to get in their own way. David is all the things! The way he loves Yara with everything he has….sigh! I about melted on the spot when I read about his ultimate grand gesture with IOU!
I loved this book. I recommended it to my friends and they loved it.
My life will never be the same having read this book!!! It’s one of those beautiful love stories that feels so tragically real, and yet it’s left its mark on my soul which means I will carry pieces of this book with me forever.
I highly recommend this beautiful story!!!
A love story for free spirits.
I’m not a ride or die Tarryn Fisher fan but her books are my go to when I need something poetic, different, unique. I’m serious when I say don’t judge a book by its title. This is a love story through and through and if you give it a chance, you’ll find that the title explains everything.
David and Yara’s love story is…well, theirs. It happens when Yara doesn’t want it to. David is probably one of my favorite characters lately. He’s blunt and straight forward; what you see is what you get.
“I’m not an ahole,” he said. “I’m a heartless romantic.”
“What’s the difference?” He thought about it. “I believe. But without the proof.”
I can relate to Yara in more ways than one. There are a whole lot of good times and just when you think the story is going to end, it doesn’t. It gets ugly and becomes gloomy, like a fall day in England. (I lived there so I can say that with certainty)
I wanted to give it 5 stars but I couldn’t. Not any fault of the Author’s, that’s her style. But because I don’t have an imaginative bone in my body. Where do they go from there? What happens after they open the door? I have to read it, the HEA. Other than that, this is probably by far one of my favorite books of Tarryn’s.
“…You don’t forgive because they deserve it. Most of the time they don’t. You forgive to keep your heart soft. To move forward without bitterness. Forgiveness is for you.”
I have been reading a bunch of Tarryn’s books lately. I was very hesitant to read this one because of the title. Then I saw a video she posted and someone asked her if she has always been spiritual. And she goes on for a good 5 to 10 minutes on loving the Bible and God.
This book was really good it wasn’t as much a mind blown book as her previous books but it still had mystery and it still had the need to not want to put it down. And like all of her books they ending is all tied up. So maybe we will get more David and Yara one day!
My favorite book of 2017.
This is a heavy 4.7 in my book. Although not my absolute favorite Tarryn Fisher book…it was still a Tarryn Fisher book. There is something about her writing that hooks me from the start and won’t let me stop until I’ve devoured the whole thing. Tarryn’s books are like cheesecake…even when you’re full, they whisper your name. Her characters are unique women I could be friends with. I one-hundred percent recommend this book.
