Summary:
As the popular darling of the junior class and heiress to the five-star Monrovi Inn empire, Kate has both everything and nothing. She's bored with school and life...until she locks eyes with Caleb at a school dance.
Caleb is new to Kate's exclusive prep school, and it's clear he doesn't fit in. In fact, he and his dad work in maintenance for Kate's father. And while Caleb knows better than to spend time with the boss's daughter, it seems that every time he tries to back away, something pulls him right back in.
When their parents demand that they are to stay away from each other, they learn of a fight between their families that occurred more than fifty years ago. It's a mystery Kate doesn't understand...but a legacy Caleb has endured his entire life.
With the world stacked against them, Caleb and Kate will have to walk by faith to find the path that God has planned for them.
Review:
*SPOILER ALERT*
I thought this book was ADORABLE!
I thought that the sassiness between Caleb and Kate, and that they were perfect for each other. Plus, the history between their families added more interest to the story.
When I first started reading the book, and discovered that Kate was in one of those families where they are extremely rich, I was a bit worried. I have read books with similar protagonists, and found them annoying beyond belief. What if I didn't like Kate?
Turns out, Kate wasn't one of those snobby girls, and Caleb was funny. I found that Caleb's character was so much easier to relate to, because he didn't grow up with everything handed to him on a silver platter.
There were a few things that the author could have done to get a 5 out of 5.
First, the author could have added more to the story between Caleb's and Kate's grandfathers.
What happened was that the Monrovis (Kate's family) and the Kalanis (Caleb's family) fought for the land that the Monrovi hotel stood on. On top of that, the grandfathers had fought over a woman. If the author had included little "flashbacks" or more of that story, the book would be a bit more interesting.
Second, there were parts in the story where Christianity was clearly the religion of the author. While I do have similar beliefs, I thought that the way she talked about God in this book was like she was shoving her opinions down the reader's throat.
At first, I didn't think much of it. But later, I was reading a review, and this book had made it on to a list of something along the lines of "best books about Christianity".
Other than these two things, I thought this book was good, and well written .
