Review~ Never Saw You Coming

no title has been provided for this book
Eighteen-year-old Meg Hennessey just found out her entire childhood was a lie. So instead of taking a gap year before college to find herself, she ends up traveling north to meet what’s left of the family she never knew existed - all while questioning the ideals she grew up with. While there, she meets Micah Allen, a former pastor’s kid whose dad ended up in prison, leaving Micah with his own complicated relationship with faith.…

This story follows Meg on her quest to find herself and figure out where she fits in the world after her whole existence is shaken by a revelation about her past. And on that quest she finds Micah.

This is probably the sweetest love story I have ever read. Meg and Micah just click and fit together perfectly from the first moment. Ok, not the first moment, but definitely the second. Even as things blow up and fall apart around them, together they are steady.

As for the supporting characters, friends don’t get any better than Duke, who is so supportive and amazing to Micah, and just absorbs Meg right into their world as well.

Meg’s best friend Vada isn’t as present, but only because she is states away. She is still incredibly there in her support of Meg.

Betty is also amazing. I think everyone should have a Betty in their lives. And she and Dani are the only two of the older generation(s) to get my 100% endorsement. The rest have some hypocrisy happening.

Micah’s mom and step-dad are good for the most part, but James had some moments that made me question him. As did Meg’s parents.

I’m not even going to talk about Micah’s dad.

I was a little concerned about the amount of religion that would be included in this book, but it was handled in a way that was pivotal to the plot line, but not throwing it in our faces, if that makes sense.

My favorite part, though, was at the height of the tension in the story, where most love stories create conflict between the main characters, Meg and Micah never faltered, not once. And that just left me feeling good.
