Book review: Left at the Altar by Kimberley Kennedy

I LOVE BOOKS and so when I first signed up to review books for Booksneeze, excited at the oppurtunity to receive free books, I looked through the available titles and chose this one to read first...but when it arrived and I began to read it I realized it was a mistake. Probably by my own fault this book was not the novel I was expecting but rather the real life story of Kimberley Kennedy.
I decided to read it anyways but I had a difficult time being captivated by her story and found myself not wanting to continue, knowing that I had to. Just recently I picked the book up again to complete it and found it easier to read this time. I found that this book includes information that though it may not be Kennedy's original ideas, is stil helpful; things such tools for dealing with grief and pain of relationships (but could be related to other life experiences) and how God will help you through that. I also like that she included a few men's perspective about ending relationships and not just a woman's point of view. Overall this book isn't my favorite, but it did redeem itself from my original opinion of it.

I recieved this book for free from Booksneeze and was not required to publish a positive review of this book.
