Sarah Smile was written like a Christian book, even though I don't think it is. It has that feel good, super innocent everything is magical thing that Christian romances have. I don't know if that makes sense, but that is how it felt to me, and if you have read Christian romances before maybe you know what I am talking about. I kept expecting the God talk to come out, but it never really did.This is the first book I have read by this author so I wasn't already familiar with the characters. I don't think that mattered much as you got to know them in this story. Maybe they had more of a back story in a different series, but it was fine.The story itself was simple and it was a quick read. I still enjoyed it. Sarah and Tanner obviously like each other, but Tanner doesn't think he is good enough for her. They keep getting thrown together at different times, and once Sarah finally tries to do something about it her brother comes and messes everything up. I didn't really like that as I thought come on Sarah, you are not even going to see what he has to say for himself? You are just going to go with what your brother saw and call it good? Really? I thought you were better than that. I thought you would at least have heard him out. And even if what you thought happened had happened, well so? It is not like you were dating or anything. But of course everything magically works out with everyone involved. Tanner has a rocky relationship with his parents? Fixed. The misunderstanding? Fixed. Everything fixed. Happy ending all around.Overall this was a quick, light read. Fun, but nothing too amazing. Still enjoyable.This review was originally posted to [...]
