Spoken For is an intertwining story of Robin's and Alyssa's lives and how they accepted who they are and who they actually belong to. This book includes stories from both ladies about how love and God were in their lives and how much of an influence both of these aspects were to them. However, while I was reading I kept hearing the same message over and over again. I do not know whether to take this as a sign of acknowledgement that the authors were very through in their messaging or lack of ways in which to entice the reader.
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I did not feel a strong pull to finish reading it after 80-something pages. I felt as if the point of the story was told in the first 20 pages and was just being continually being beat to a pulp. I understand that the authors were recounting their love stories and wanting to relate them to God pursing them and God wanting them to love Him more through their lives but having put it through the ringer so many times bored me.
I see how this can possibly be a very relatable book and how girls and women of all ages could gain great insight and knowledge from these amazing Christian women nevertheless I do not see the story and message very effective in this methodology. I did, however, love the first couple of chapters so if you think you want to give this story a try and see where it takes you, here is a link :)
