Rating: 4 out of 5

Where to begin with this review? Well this book had a couple of things going for it.Firstly it totally gripped me right from the beginning.Secondly it was so funny, I laughed while I read the book. The sarcasm was well done and simply just Graces way of thinking was hilarious at times.Thirdly, The storyline and plot was good. Simple, but well plotted and planned.Fourthly, The characters were great. Every single one of them. Well written dialogues between them and I honestly felt as if I knew them.Fifthly, The writing style was great. It was easy to follow and simply done with such a smooth flow from page to page. I loved that there wasn't any overuse of big words to confuse you and the book focused on the characters and story rather than boggling your mind with crazy words.Now... what didn't work for me? Keeping in mind that I really liked the book, so even with what I found lacking, it's still a great read.So... What I found unrealistic was the lack of sexual content or references. Especially considering that we are talking about 2 grown woman and 3 grown men and it was way to weird that not a single sexual joke, innuendo, reference or anything else relating to sexual nature was even brought into the book. Yes, there was, almost at the end, a question Grace posed to Michael asking him if he found her attractive, but that was it. Everything else was simply to innocent throughout the entire book.Now I'm not saying that every book should involve couples having sex, but surely guys and girls between the ages of 20 and 30 must have some sexual thoughts or actions at some point right? Isn't that just realistic, considering the times we live in? I can't really explain it, but this fact made the book really young in my opinion and that's the reason it's not a 5 star for me. Maybe I sound ridiculous because not everything is about sex, but a book should be completely relate-able and totally believable for the reader to really live themselves into it and thus the lack of any sexual content, I'm sorry to say it, just made the book a little to plastic for me.But other than that, I have nothing bad to rant about concerning Saving Grace. It was really a great book and I'm glad that I spent precious book reading time giving it my attention.Read More Reviews On My Blog Coffee, Books & Lipgloss
