I just finished this book after knowing about it for a long time. I will say, I was not disappointed. This book really deals in how our lives can change in a second, and we can either wallow in despair or accept it and move on. Ellie was a very good character; the reader will really feel the change and the pain that the accident caused her. I liked Megan as well, though I feel like the author didn't dive into her as much as I would've liked. There were some questions left unanswered as the author focused more on Ellie. Ryan and Will were good background characters. I will admit, I wasn't too happy with how God was treated in this book. He sort of got the back seat until the very end, and it wasn't very pleasing. However, the author did drop enough clues to show us that the main characters were changed because of their experiences, especially Ellie. Some things I had problems with besides this was that the whole Grandfather thing was a little...one-dimensional? I don't know, it just wasn't as profound as the author might have meant it to be. Also, the title sounds like it's dealing with self-worth, and while this book does touch on that, it's not the complete, main focus. Although the beginning of the book was a little slow, it picked up pace towards the middle. All in all, a nice read. I'll be reading more from this author in the future.
