Basic Premise: Joan Sanderson is stuck in the middle of dealing with her recent break-up, her sister drama, her lame, boring job, and her ever-increasing feeling that there simply has to be more to life. When an attractive young doctor moves in next door, Joan is swept off her feet by his good looks and charm, but his deep commitment to his faith causes her more than a moment's pause about her own.
My Take: 7.5 out of 10
This is my second Nook book, but I picked it because, well, it was free. It was the first book on the list that looked interesting to me, so I downloaded it, having no idea (and being pleasantly surprised) that it was a faith-based book. I liked the simple writing style and the loveable little community of Danville, Kentucky. I also loved the friendly banter between Joan, her two sisters, her mother, and her OCD grandmother. Joan's struggles and questions about faith were approached in an honest, realistic manner and God was aptly portrayed as a near and personal God. I felt a little like the book glossed over the significance of Jesus, but overall I was pleasantly surprised with this free read!
I enjoy reading your blog! I, too, just got a Nook and I, too, only read cheap/free books. I did buy one. It's very similar to A Boy Called It if you want me to share it with you. It's super short and a fast read. I started Stuck in the Middle but lost interest for a while. I am going to check into downloading books from the library!
