Sweet Caroline

by Rachel Hauck

Overall Book Review:

Sweet Caroline is a book full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and mixed decisions. Caroline seems to make every decision more than one time. She chooses between staying at the diner and taking a job in Spain several times before she finally makes a decision at the end of the book. 

Caroline makes several choices regarding her relatioinships with J.D. and Mitch, but If you are looking for a romance, you will be sorely disappointed. The book talks about the relatioinships, but never depicts a truy passionate relationship.

Sweet Caroline does depict Caroline’s realization of Jesus and how important He is to her life, but it is not a main theme of the book. Sweet Caroline is a fun book for adults who want to sit down and read a book about good old-faishoned Southern hospitality with a dash of religion on the side.

About the Reviewer

Take me to a book store and it will be at least an hour before you can pry me from the shelves, never leaving empty handed. I have had my own bookcases (that’s right, plural) collecting my favorites since I was little. I like reading not only for the storyline, but also to see the author’s creativity and the way their personality comes through in their writing.
