Wedding Score

A sweet and inspiring story

I loved many things about this novella-length story. Stephanie is a 27 year old single young lady who has played the piano for many weddings but has no prospects for a wedding of her own. Most of the time she’s content with her single life, but when her best friend, her cousin Caiden, finds a girl with whom he’s ready to enter into a serious relationship, Stephanie finds herself struggling with being single.

I loved how we hear from Stephanie herself all throughout this book. She communicates very well what it’s truly like to be a single Christian woman watching her friends, some of them younger, get married while she’s still waiting. I loved how the author shared some of her own journal entries so we can see Stephanie’s spiritual journey as she seeks to find peace and contentment in the place that God has for her. And I loved that this story did not end the way the reader might think that it will.

Whether we’re married or single, we all have either faced or will face times of waiting in God in a situation and wanting to see answers to our prayers. There’s some great counsel in this book about those times. Amanda Turo is a good author, and this story is both entertaining and encouraging. I’m looking forward to reading more of her stories.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
