Claire James has had a rough few years. She took care of her mother, Emily, while she was dying of cancer and now Claire is 22, with no real place in the world. She's working a blah waitressing job and living with her older sister and brother-in-law, who is an alcoholic and steals all her money. After getting fired and then kicked out of the house, Claire makes a decision that will change her life. On the day of her mother's funeral a year ago, Claire found an old love letter in the glove box of her mother's cherished VW beetle. The letter was signed only with an initial but had a return address. Claire wants to make her way from L.A. to Capitola and find the mystery writer of the letter. Claire stumbles and bumps (literally) her way into the lives of many who help guide her journey and when she finally reaches the address, she finds the apartment is for rent. What does the future hold for Claire? Will she find the mystery writer and what surprises will she learn about her mother and herself?
Why I picked up the book: The cover looked fun and we were going on vacation to California so it seemed like the perfect beach read! (although I didn't actually read it until we got back.)
Why I finished it: It was a quick, fast, fun read. There were a few too many coincidences but those who read and enjoy Christian fiction won't be bothered by them.
I'd give it to: fans of chick-lit Christian fiction. Readers (probably girls, high school or adult) looking for a fun, fresh, sweet story with a hint of love.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
