First off, thanks to the power of Instagram and @authoradaeze and her publisher, I was able to get a copy of this ebook for free before it finally releases.
What to say about this book without giving too much away. There are a few trigger warnings, but they are very minor. This book is safe to read for all ages. It deals with topics that most people are afraid to discuss and it is the perfect opportunity to talk about those issues. We see issues like bullying, sickness, drugs, and a lot of social injustices in the world. People are too scared to deal with these problems and blame it on God. One line that Peter said really stuck with me, he was feeling angry and hurt and he questioned his faith in the world and his belief in God. If all these bad things are happening in life, it makes you wonder why God allows the bad to creep in.
Peter is probably one of the best developed characters that I've ever read. He is physically maybe a weak character, but he is very strong. His will power and determination is overwhelmingly good. As a main character that is very commendable and rare. Honestly, every part of this book was so masterfully crafted. You can definitely tell that the author took her time and really poured her heart and soul into her book.
Overall, I will 100% be rereading this book again and recommending it to whoever will listen. Thanks again for the opportunity to read and review this book early! I feel tremendously blessed to have read such a wonderful book. Also all the references were very current and on point. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!
