This book had so much potential, but unfortunately it fell flat for me.

As other reviews have said, it's more of a chick-lit book than romance. Also, why is this labeled a Christian fiction book� It's clean-ish fiction but the only time religion is even remotely mentioned is in one brief reference to Sunday school over 200 pages in.

Cat and Zaiah had no chemistry and I just can't see a couple like them ever working. I didn't like how Zaiah had a cop-out for not liking excessive cell phone usage. Would it have been so hard to have a character opposed to that without a tragic, dramatic back story?

Also, is Zaiah his real name? I kept waiting for him to mention it being a nickname for Isaiah or something, but that never happenedâ¦

The whole story just felt unrealistic, and while there were some cute elements and funny moments, this was not my favorite read.
