This was a promising book. The plot was wholesome, the characters seemingly relatable. However, the more Gray's background unfolded, the less I liked Dru. If love is patient (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), why is Dru in such a rush? Why is she, a self-proclaiming better-than-Gray Christian because she isn't living like she's unforgiven, rushing the very thing the Bible states is patient?
I liked the style and characters' depth, and I admired how, though this is the first-ever time I've heard of this series and novel I've read from it, Her One & Only works well as a standalone novel. I disliked the turn it took, what with Dru's frustrating prying in all of 10 weeks of knowing Gray, because getting to know someone and continuing to know them is not a right; it's a privilege. Gray did some wrong things, but in the end, she left a sour taste in my mouth.
