First of all I cannot believe this story got 100+ 5 star reviews. I refuse to believe anyone thought this story was great. As a single Christian women, I am disappointed and a little offended about how the events in this book played out. If I could give no stars I would.The leading lady, Anna is obviously self sacrificing and involved in church activities; good qualities anyone can be proud of. I do not like that she was described as physically unattractive ("too round") and had low self esteem. This author is not the only offender when it comes to making Christian women a bunch of sad cases but this one was especially so.  Also, WHY DO ALL SINGLE CHRISTIAN WOMEN HAVE TO BE TEACHERS AND WORK IN THE NURSERY??!! Please be more creative.Pastor Dan was inappropriate from the get-go; whispering in her ear, asking her all sorts of personal questions on their first meeting, and getting close and cuddly at the movies. Pastor Dan was way too close for comfort with a women he'd only known for 8 hours. Then literally within 48 hours he's concluded that she's the one God wants him to marry. Anna was just thanking God that someone as unattractive as her could get a handsome man like Pastor Dan.Anna's parents where annoying- after a 3 hour dinner, they'd concluded that Pastor Dan and there daughter would get married. Then they worked up some sort of deal with pastor Dan and their daughter. They believed Anna had loose morals; exemplified by the fact they she kissed a few boys when she was 5.  Give me a break, I would hardly classify a five year old for sharing kisses as immoral.Please don't read this book, unless you are curious to see how disappointing it really is.
