"Grief brought Finley to Ireland. LOVE WILL LEAD HER HOME.
Finley Sinclair is not your typical eighteen-year-old. She's witty, tough, and driven. With an upcoming interview at the Manhattan music conservatory, Finley needs to compose her audition piece. But her creativity disappeared with the death of her older brother, Will.
She decides to study abroad in Ireland so she can follow Will's travel journal. It's the place he felt closest to God, and she's hopeful being there will help her make peace over losing him. So she agrees to an exchange program and boards the plane.
Beckett Rush, teen heartthrob and Hollywood bad boy, is flying to Ireland to finish filming his latest vampire movie. On the flight, he meets Finley. She's the one girl who seems immune to his charm. Undeterred, Beckett convinces her to be his assistant in exchange for his help as a tour guide.
Once in Ireland, Finley starts to break down. The loss of her brother and the pressure of school, her audition, and whatever it is that is happening between her and Beckett, leads her to a new and dangerous vice. When is God going to show up for her in this emerald paradise?
Then she experiences something that radically changes her perspective on life. Could it be God convincing her that everything she's been looking for has been with her all along?"
Sorry about the killer long blurb - I got it off Goodreads!
Ireland? Yes! Heart-throb actor as love interest? Yes! Mean and bossy main character? No. Major God tones? Probably not. The blurb of this book really did pull me in! The names are gorgeous, and setting is lovely too. But this book just didn't do it for me.
I am not religious, BUT I do not ever judge. I quite happily read books about Angels and Demons, and religion. This book seemed like Jenny B. Jones was trying to suck teenagers in and give them a lesson on God. I don't mean to be rude, and I apologise if I offend, but that is the way this book came across.
If your a fan of contemporary fiction, then give this one a go, you just might like it :)
