Review: The Good Girl by Christy Barritt

I don’t typically care for first person point-of-view novels, but something about The Good Girl by Christy Barritt just kept me engaged and wanting to read more.

This book had a great story line, but what sticks out most is the spiritual theme Ms. Barritt was able to weave into it. Christianity is not about rules and regulations, or dos and don’ts. It’s about having a relationship with a loving God, and sharing that love with your neighbor.

Back cover:

Tara Lancaster can sing Amazing Grace in three harmonies, two languages, and interpret it for the hearing impaired. She can list the Bible canon backward, forward, and alphabetized. And the only time she ever missed church was at seventeen because she had pneumonia and her mom made her stay home. 

But when her life shatters around her and her reputation is left in ruins, Tara decides escape is the only option. She flees halfway across the country to dog-sit, but the quiet anonymity she needs isn t waiting in her sister s house. Instead she finds a knife with a threatening message, a fame-hungry friend, a too-hunky neighbor, and evidence of…a ghost? 

Following all the rules has gotten her nowhere. And nothing she learned in Sunday School can tell her where to go from there.

Rating: 4 roses

    1. LOL, Tina. Makes you want to go read it, doesn’t? I never like reading book summaries for reviews, so I always attempt short and sweet. 🙂

  1. This book sounds wonderful, and I am sad to say that I have never heard of it before now. Thanks for an awesome review and another book added to my TBR list! New follower 🙂

    1. Thank you for following my blog, Chelsea.

      For the rest of my followers reading this comment, I was hesitant to allow her blog “ad” to remain. However, I went to check it out before deciding. While I can’t verify all of her content, it seems to be fine. But as always reader beware if you choose to visit. 🙂
