Seeking an escape from life in her small California town, Emily Hinton is delighted when she is offered a job in New York City, where she finds herself torn between the glamour and glitter of New York and her determination to remain true to her morals.

So not what I was expecting. I thought this was just about a book from a small town trying to adjust to life in NYC. Not quite. If you're a devout Christian and in the mood for some light chick lit, this is just the book for you. It was not for me, however.

This book was not my cup of tea at all. This is Christian chick-lit, which I was unaware of when I started. Once I found out, I opened my mind as I am always looking for a new story to be told. The only problem with this one was the main character. Everything was about being Christian, only in the next sentence she would judge someone and make fun of them, or look down on them as being inferior. Not very "Christ-like"...I cannot stand reading that demeanor for fun. Where the book really lost me was when the main character narrated that she thought life would be easier for her because she "had God on [her:] side." And this belief was held throughout the book. After that, I had to move on.
