Thought Provoking Read

In my opinion, Not a Word is one of Chautona's best books. Being a book about teenage pregnancy between a Christian and non-Christian, it was very different. Especially when the sin was instigated by the Christian.

From the start, I was invested in the well-developed characters of Mac & Savannah. Mac, a young man wrongly accused of a crime quietly endures the hatred of the citizens of his hometown due to a lie told by Savannah. She panics and tells a lie to cover up her part in the sin. However, I was impressed with her desire to make things right and confess the sin and also with her decision to take responsibility as a single parent.

I enjoyed experiencing Mac's journey as a new Christian and admired his ability to forgive Savannah. The character of Rory, Mac & Savannah's young son's witty comical nature was hilarious. I had a hard time putting this one down. There were some surprises. along the way and the ending wrapped up things nicely.

This was a different kind of read for me as it was mostly told from Mac's perspective. A very good Christian based romance which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I really enjoyed reading this book

I really enjoyed reading this book. I could identify with a lot of the feelings and temptations that Savvy faced, and appreciated that the author was willing to bring them out into the open. Mac is a wonderful character; I really liked him. Rory was very fun. As always, I appreciate how the author is able to craft a great story to bring out sometimes-difficult truths.

not the usual syrup and sweetness

This was a great read - the characters were believable and the situations realistic and plausible. I love that, even though it dealt with some tough things, they were addressed in such a way as to not be crass or rude. I'm not normally a big fan of "Christian fiction" because it tends to be syrupy and pretty and full of fluff... but this dealt with some hard issues and had me thinking of how I would have acted/reacted in such a situation. This was one book I skipped out on sleep to finish, which is saying a lot. Definitely recommended!
