It's definitely been a growing period this past year. I've learned a lot about myself as a reader, blogger, and as a person.
DEBUT NOVEL BY MELISSA TAGG
Made to Last is one of the best contemporary Christian romance book I have read so far this year. It was spunky, humorous, full of emotions that will ache your heart, and written with characters you won't want to say goodbye too.
I would recommend this book to my friends, because it's really relate-able. Whether you've disappointed family, someone dear to you or even yourself this novel uses those issues and paints an endearing image on how these characters deal with the secrets we never want to share.
The story starts off with Miranda Woodruff, the star of the homebuilding show "From the Ground Up". Miranda is a passionate woman when it comes to what she does best: working with tools and wood. She is also very passionate about her job and will do anything to keep it from getting booted off air. Miranda has a secret through: she's not the Miranda Woodruff her fans have came to love. Well, actually, there is only one big difference between the Miranda on t.v. and the real-life Miranda. T.V. Miranda is married and real-life Miranda is still nursing an 3 year old broken engagement wound.Yet, Miranda is determined to keep her show from getting canceled and through this a pretend husband is supplied to boost ratings.
The one question that scares Miranda the most though is will the life she has come to built and depend on come crashing down? What about a chance at real love?
Then there is Matthew Knox, the reporter looking for the story that will change his status from total failure to big time journalist. So it's no surprise that he jumps on the opportunity to do an online blog feature on the popular Miranda Knox. This is when things get complicated. Matthew is talented at what he does, and from his observing Miranda comes to the conclusion she is hiding some skeletons in her closet.
Add in some romance, crazy shenanigans produced by an odd and very full of life fake fiance, and everyone keeping their eyes on Miranda this book packs a punch!
Oh I just want you guys to read this book so much! I have done my best to not give too much away or too little! This book is just a feel good book. It's a feel great book! Seriously, the development spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically for all of Tagg's characters was genuine and honest.
Definitely keeping a look out for Tagg's newest novel!!! Her writing was fantastic! Highly recommend.
Rating: 5 out of 5 bookshelves
