Is there such a thing as a prayer do-over? If so, Tegan Taylor would like change the prayer she had said over the last couple of years. She wept with relief when it looked like God finally listened to her. Little did she know what this answered prayer would unleash during the summer of her senior year in high school.

Sketches of My Soul by TC Booth was such a surprisingly captivating quick read. I'm not the biggest fan of contemporary reads and normally they take me a few days to finish, but this book had me hooked from the beginning, for a few reasons.

The first reason is Teagan. I can't say that I related to everything she was going through, but there was a lot I related with. Some of her high school experiences, the fact that she was a klutz, and because she lives in Ohio.

So there was that little addition. It was nice to read a book set in the same state where I lived. There were a few locations that I was familiar with, and not just because of knowledge but because of personal experiences at those locations like Lake Erie and Giovanni's.

But back to Teagan, even though I didn't relate to other things involved in her life. It was easy to sympathize with her. And I totally loved her friendship with Emily, her romance with Andrew - it was sweet, her drive toward doing what made her happy, her relationship with Mrs. White, and her never ceasing care of her Father.

I cannot wait to read the next book in this series, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary, but you might want to have tissues on hand because there were moments where I shed a few tears. The only downfall about this book for me was the pacing, a huge reason I don't typically read contemporary is because they are typically set at a slower pace which is the case for this book.
