Review: You Don't Know Me

You Don't Know Me by Susan May Warren
My rating: 💛💛💛💛 

To be honest, this story started with a bang, lagging a bit there in the middle, but ended strong for me.

The prologue and beginning was edgy, promised of suspense and grabbed my attention. But Annalise and Frank's struggle to relocate the Deckers or not felt a bit dragged out and I personally would have wanted a bit more action. There was also things I saw coming, but a few twists and turns I didn't.

However, this story had the same elements I loved throughout this series as well as future series which plays off in Deep Haven: Characters who is not perfect, who, like us, faces challenges in their daily lives and learns a few lessons in their relationship journey with God.

I agree. God does give second chances. And He does protect us—even fixes the unfixable. Especially when we stand firm in our commitments.

I think my favourite parts in this book was meeting John Christiansen who I loved in the Christiansen family series (definitely a series to read starting with . I loved the wisdom he imparted to his close friend, Nathan. A lot which I could also take to heart.

Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be happy. And sometimes you have to find those happy places in between the pain.

There was a few times I did not like Annalise because of the way she treated Tucker Newman. My heart broke for this young boy who just wanted to fit in and be loved. I've already read his story in so knew what was waiting for him, but there was a few times I just wanted to take this broken boy, give him a hug and say everything will be okay.

Grace meant God knew her past and still offered her a beautiful future. An unbreakable happy ending.

This was a sweet story about God's grace and second chances. A heartwarming ending to the Deep Haven series, but not the end of Deep Haven. The Christiansen family series is also set in Deep Haven and coming in 2021 is a whole new Deep Haven series! is a free novella which kicks of the new Deep Haven series.
