Cass McMain writes a tight, compelling story, and Sunflower boils down to a study in faith and loyalty. Throw in a smattering of support and just a touch of empathy. I found this ending very satisfactory - although it felt like I should like Jess, I never considered her a true partner for Michael. McMain goes on my list of must read authors.

I received a free electronic copy of this novel from Netgalley. Cass J. McMain, and Holland House Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me.

I was surprised to learn that this is the author's first book, as it is so incredibly well-written. I loved the fact that the characters were normal, everyday people living ordinary lives. The plot was simple, but the writing was phenomenal. The author's ability to make the characters so relatable kept me invested. This book proves that an author doesn't need over the top plot points to keep their reader invested. I highly recommend this book!
