tear-jerking,
By
This review is from: Pretense (Contemporary Romance) (Paperback)
I'm a very big fan of Lori Wick and I believe this to be one of her best books. I can see the main characters vividly and feel their joy and pain. I've never read a book which follows the characters from childhood to adulthood. Mackenzie and Delancey were like friends to me. It was amazing to read about their lives the way the author portrayed them. There were so many facets to the characters. I've read this book twice and will probably read it time and time again. It has some strong Christian viewpoints and shows how God's love can change even the hardest of hearts. If you like to be moved both emotionally and spiritually, I recommend this book to you. Wonderful!

An Honest Review,
By Lauren (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pretense (Contemporary Romance) (Paperback)
I have read this book a few times now and also ALL of the reviews listed for it on this site. I am an avid fan of Lori Wick. I can understand people's complaints about "Pretense" being too long and also having graphic detail. But the truth is, I find this book to be a refreshing change for Lori. In every other book her characters are perfect to the point that their only faults are they lost their temper or something. Pretense is a realistic book. Delancey and Micki get involved in worldy things and Lori does go into detail but I think this only adds depth to the book and helps people to relate to the mistakes they may have made in their own lives. I think it is a great witness to non-christians and I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending it. Also, although Pretense is long, I think that only helped increase the realism of the story and let us know the characters more. It had sad, depressing moments but it was true to life. If you want to read a book that is full of light hearted moments then don't read Pretense. But if you want a book that will captivate you and will remind you of God's presence in our lives no matter what the circumstances then definitely read "Pretense".
Also, on another note... while writing reviews can people please try to remember that while it is okay to give their opinions on a book it is entirely different to personally critise an author. I think that's wrong.

I loved it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pretense (Contemporary Romance) (Paperback)
this book was wonderful! not overly adventurous or romantic, but just fun. i was able to "follow" the characters around and be "involved" in their lives. i very much enjoyed reading about all their joys and struggles and events in their lives. i enjoyed reading about them, "watching" them grow and change. i was sad when the book ended, because i wanted to stay in their lives longer and share more experiences with them.
