The Chance by Karen Kingsbury Book Review
Summary;(from book):
"Years ago, the day before Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend Nolan sat beneath the Spanish moss of an ancient oak tree where they wrote letters to each other, and sealed them in a rusty old metal box. The plan was to return eleven years later and read them. But now, as that date arrives. much as changed. Ellie. bereft of the faith she grew up with, is a single mom living in a tired apartment trying to make ends meet. Sometimes she watches television to catch a glimpse of her old friend- Nolan, now an NBA star,whose terrible personal tragedies fueled his faith and athletic drive in equal measure. But Nolan also suffers from a transcendent loneliness that nothing has ever eased.
Review:
I enjoyed reading this book so much! I love how in the author's books, she shows the different point of views of the characters so you know how everyone in the story is connected and what each character is feeling. I like how very contrast the two main characters were yet they were still able to be in love with each other. Ellie the main character had to grow up quicker than she expected with her becoming a single mom but through these obstacles she has lost sight of her faith and who she is in God. On the other hand, Nolan never strayed from his faith and let the obstacles he faced in life bring him closer to God. Overall this was a very good book, and it talked about a lot of interesting topics that really makes you think. Karen Kingsbury makes absolutely fall in love with her characters. I guarantee that if you read one of her books I promise you will not regret it.
I hope you enjoyed this review! Comment if you have read any of Karen Kingsbury's books. She has definitely become one of my favorite authors! Until next time!- Gabby B.
