I really liked this sweet story about faith and family and love and life. Books that focus around secrets, and not being truthful and forthcoming can be kind of iffy for me when reading, but I was pleasantly surprised with the way this was handled in One Thing I Know.

Kara Isaac is an author I've been wanting to read read for awhile now, and I'm really glad I finally got the chance to do so. She has a way with words that really brought the story to life, and I found myself really mesmerized with the story as it moved along, and not wanting to put it down as I couldn't wait to find out what happens next.

I was really rooting for Rachel and Lucas, and not just for their relationship, but also for them to overcome past hurts, and truly learn to move forward. I personally really enjoyed the way that so much of their relationship blossoms as a friendship, before it moves into anything more, as you could tell they had a really deep connection that wasn't just based on physical attraction.

I enjoyed the emphasis on healing and redemption and second chances, especially when it centered around Rachel learning to forgive her friends and in the process herself. This is only truly achieved through letting go, and letting God, and I appreciated that this was definitely stressed upon from numerous characters throughout the story.

While all in all, I really did enjoy this one, and it was a winner in my eyes, however I didn't think some of the pg-13 content was necessary for the story, and it hindered my enjoyment slightly, as I felt it was a tad off putting in a Christian novel.

Overall though, this was a great first experience with a Kara Isaac novel, and I will definitely be picking up more books from this author in the future.
