Wonderful story

This book was a journey of incredible love. I enjoyed the way the author painted such a clear picture with her words.

A bit long, but very good

Loved this story of redemption, love, overcoming obstacles, and how the author developed characters. Sorry was a TAD long and drawn out, but I LOVED it and recommend it!

Wonderful story!

This is one of the best books I have listened to in a long time. My only complaint about the story is the ending. I’m not a fan of how everything was neatly wrapped up in the last hour.

The narrator is not the worst but also not the best. For the most part all of the characters sound the same.

Loved it!

I started reading/listening to this same time I started a Bible study on the book of Hosea. It was so good and I wish it didn’t have to end.

Life Altering

I cried twice and I'm a man. This is my wife's favorite book and she has begged me to read it. I told her I'm just not into that sort of book. After studying Hosea in my Bible study I was moved and my wife said the book was based off of the bible story. I gave it a shot and am so grateful I did.

Surprisingly Amazing

I couldn’t stop listening. When I saw how many hours the book was, I figured it’d take me weeks to get through the whole story as I can only listen to books a little at a time. This gripped me from the start with its sadness and evolving beauty. I consumed it split between 2 days, listening at every free second I could find. It sits with me now. So raw and beautiful, you can’t help but be introspective after listening. Very much recommend.

Love! Recommend for older ladies

I heard a ton of my friends read this in middle school. That is simply way too young in my opinion for this kind of book. I would also argue not for those deeply struggling with lust.
