"Echoes" by Robin Jones Gunn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Crazy things always seem to happen to Lauren Phillips, but even she wasn't expecting her fiance to break their engagement. Hoping to lift her spirits, her brother Brad gives her a new computer--along with a few suggestions for how she can improve her social life online. Soon Lauren connects with a mysterious man who identifies himself as a fellow God-lover...someone she only knows as K.C.

As she takes tentative steps into a new life, Lauren increasingly enjoys her new online friendship with K.C. But she can't bring herself to hope for something more and risk relinquishing the safety that distance provides her bruise heart.

After a year of corresponding, Lauren finally has an opportunity to meet K.C. Is she willing to risk everything, including more heartache?

I've known people like Lauren. They are the embodiment of Murphy's Law--If something can go wrong, it will. I had fun reading about her many mishaps. The rest of the book, not so much. The little side bits with Justin and especially Garry were a mess. I felt they detracted from the story overall.  Most of the characters in the book felt pretty two dimensional, and Lauren seemed pretty immature throughout the whole book.  The last half of the book I could guess what was coming a mile away, and it just didn't really keep my interest at that point. Not a terrible book, but not a great one, either.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
