NEW CONTENT! NEWLY EDITED!As of September 26, 2018 When I was diagnosed with breast cancer my life changed in an instant. My once clear path was now going 100 miles an hour into the pitch black unknown. I couldn't stop nor change it. I was in the driver seat, yet I couldn't steer back on course. My life was never going to be the same. I lost friends and refused to make new ones. I refused to let anyone in. I lived an empty void of existence. The day the doctor muttered the word remission my path changed yet again. I knew, however, at any moment it could change back. I needed to find myself and purpose in life. One day it all changed. I found myself in a place most would look down on. A place where I wasn't pitied or treated like a piece of glass. It's was where I met him. Where I would find myself. This is my story and how I became Faith.

Faith…
This book was interesting for me because I thought it had so much potential. I was really excited to start this book and within a few chapters I was caught up in the characters and the story. Yet about halfway through the novel, or maybe even before that, the book started to fall apart for me.
One of the things that I absolutely abhor in a novel is when the author starts an idea and doesn’t finish it, which was the resounding theme of Faith. There were characters introduced and I was ready for the drama to roll, then nothing happened. Now, I don’t usually advocate drama, but this book had almost none! Nothing to keep my attention and nothing to make me interested in reading more. But the reason this book was pretty decent for me was the potential of the novel to be great.
An example of where the idea kind of trailed off: A character was introduced and she sounded like she was going to make trouble for “Faith”. I was waiting for the drama and the battle between the two, yet there was nothing. The newly introduced character was never mentioned again and I was left confused. It was just small things like this that really took this book down a notch for me. Maybe there will be a proceeding book to follow Faith which goes more in depth with these various issues, If so, that’s great, but this book felt cut short and I don’t know if I’m willing to follow up on it.
The characters themselves were great and I loved their interactions and decisions. My only problem was that there were no problems between any of the characters.
Faith was a good read, but it definitely felt cut short, and for this reason, I can only give it three stars. There is definitely a problem when I am reading a book and when it ends I am super surprised. Yet there was potential there so maybe the author will continue this book to another and finish the thoughts from Faith.
