AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Eleanor went to Seattle to be a camera girl at the exposition going on there, and she has loved every minute of it. William, on the other hand, only took a job at the expo because tragedy ruined the plans he and his brother had for Seattle. Their lives intersect for a reason, and everything becomes clear after the development of one of Eleanor’s photos.
Eleanor’s story can be read independently of the prequel; characters in the first book show up in this one, but the details of their story are not necessary to read Eleanor and William’s. Peterson includes strong Christian themes and scripture quotations due to her characters’ faith being a big part of their lives. The main characters feel Mary-Sue-ish and some details are belabored, but, overall, the story is heartwarming and faith-promoting.
The majority of the characters, including Eleanor and William, are white, and May is half Japanese. The mature content rating is for alcohol use, and the violence rating is for mentions of abuse, gun use, and murder.
