Book Review: To Catch a Falling Star

Catch a Falling StarWhat does a girl do when life doesn’t go according to her plan?

At 36, Kendall Haynes has seen some of her dreams come true. She’s a family physician helping kids with severe allergies and asthma achieve more fulfilling lives—a childhood struggle she knows all too well. But the feeling of being “the kid never picked” looms large when romance continues to evade her and yet another one of her closest friends gets engaged. Are Kendall’s dreams of having it all—a career, a husband, children—nothing more than childish wishing upon a star? Should she hold out for her elusive Plan A? Dust off Plan B? Or is it time to settle? God says he knows the plans he has for her—why can’t Kendall figure them out and be content with her lif

Griffin Walker prefers flying solo—both as an Air Force pilot and in his personal life. But a wrong choice and health problems pulled him out of the cockpit. His attempts to get out of “flying a desk” are complicated by his parents’ death—making Griffin the reluctant guardian of his sixteen-year-old brother, Ian. How did his life get so off course? Can God get his life back on track … or has there been a divine plan all along?

Catch a Falling Star reminds readers that romance isn’t just for twenty-somethings and that sometimes letting go of your “wish I may, wish I might” dreams is the only way to embrace everything God has waiting for you.

MY THOUGHTS
This was a fun book to read, not only because of the characters, but because it was different.  Griffin is quite reluctant to raise his brother, he hardly knows him, and does a lot of emotional stumbling...maybe you could call what he does an emotional wreck..

Kendall just needs to learn what it is she wants, that's no small feat, she rather dislikes Griffin but forms a bond with his brother.

The twists and turns and the plot in this book are refreshing...very enjoyable.
