**Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Wednesday Books for the advanced copy for review. All opinions are my own.** Meg just found out that her whole life was a lie. Micah is struggling with the upcoming parole hearing for his dad. These two meet and the tension they're both dealing with in their personal lives causes a not-so-meet-cute. I wasn't prepared for the level of faith and religion in this book even though it's mentioned in the synopsis. It did not detract from the story at all though. It definitely made it better. I must warn that if church or religion is not your jam then you may want to skip this one. I really liked the book regardless of the characters and plot being so Christian and faith driven. Typically, it can be off-putting because it can seem "preachy," but it was done very well in this book. The main and side characters showed a lot of growth and I loved seeing that. I also liked that the author showed all the sides of Christians: the over-the-top, those who've lost their faith, the judgmental, the redemption, etc. She also delivered some truth bombs regarding how the church views girls and their behavior versus the boys. I'm glad someone said it! All in all, I really liked the story, the characters, and where it all ended. I would definitely recommend reading Never Saw You Coming.
