The Basics

Title: Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by Bethany Turner

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance, Romantic Comedy

My Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

From the Back Cover: After four years with her boyfriend, Cadie McCaffrey is thinking of ending things. Convinced Will doesn’t love her in the “forever” way she loves him, Cadie believes it’s time for her to let him go before life passes her by. When a misunderstanding leads to a mistake, leaving her hurt, disappointed, and full of regret, she finally sends him packing.

But for Will, the end of their relationship is only the beginning of his quest to figure out how to be the man Cadie wanted him to be. With the dubious guidance of his former pro-athlete work friends and tactics drawn from Cadie’s favorite romantic comedies, Will attempts to win her back. It’s a foolproof plan. What could possibly go wrong?

Bethany Turner is back with more of the heart and humor readers love. Anyone who enjoys a good romance or binges romantic comedies on Netflix will devour this delightful story.

My Thoughts

This was such a fun book to read! The witty dialogue, hilarious supporting characters, and plethora of pop culture references are perfect for romantic comedy fans. It’s like a Hallmark movie, but with substance and faith – the best of both worlds!

The plot is different from typical romance novels, since the main characters are already together at the beginning but end up breaking up. I appreciated the unique twist, and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to storytelling! I was a little disappointed that we didn’t learn much about Will’s life before he met Cadie, although we did learn a little about her background. That didn’t take away from the story, though – they were both great characters.

Although this is a fun, funny book, it does deal with some sensitive subjects. I appreciated how Turner handled them realistically but with grace and tact. I probably wouldn’t recommend this book to young teenagers, but anyone who’s a young adult or older would enjoy it. Some of the main themes are facing our mistakes and turning to God for forgiveness, and those are ideas we can all relate to. If you are a fan of Kristin Billerbeck, Jenny B. Jones, or Melissa Tagg, I think you’ll really enjoy this book!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a review. I was not required to write a positive review; all opinions are my own. Thank you, Revell!
