Season of Hope by Sara Jane Jacobs

Season of Hope is the first book written by Sara Jane Jacobs and I look forward to reading more. I was able to enjoy the audiobook, read by Lisa Lynn Sandlin and it was such a delight. The only warning I must give, in case you are anything like me, the story ends on a cliffhanger. So be prepared to acquire book two. The character development is great. I loved watching Amanda figure out life even when her dreams don’t pan out. While also trying to not let her aunt’s dreams overcome her. Watching Tyler figure out life, growing into this caring guy after the struggle he had growing up with an abusive father. The storyline is a fast-paced- spanning kids to college timeline. I loved the quick view on watching Tyler and Amanda growing up and how they maintained their friendship. Such a sweet storyline. The relationship between Amanda and Tyler are neighbors and best friends, to slowly realizing they should be more. So, it is a very low spice, kisses only. Sara Jane Jacobs did an amazing job intertwining faith throughout the story. *I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily chose to review it. All opinions are my own.
