{My Review}
Justified is the latest book in the Mended Hearts series. You know how there are some books that you read and never think about them again? Justified wasn't like that for me. This book stayed with me for a few days and I found myself reflecting quite a few times on what I had read. I grew up in a small town so much of this book resonated with me. Small towns can be wonderful communities full of love and support and at the same time there may be gossip and judgement from people who don't know the whole story. The story is about a community that judges the main character, Fawn, for her mistakes. My heart ached for Fawn and I could clearly imagine the judgement she felt. Her story of forgiveness and redemption is somewhat predictable, but I really grew to love her and wanted to get to the end to find out what was going to happen. If you are interested in small town, Christian romance I feel you will really enjoy this book. I'm looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.
Thank you to David C. Cook Publishing Company and to Radiant Lit Blog Tours for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
