My Review:

Turtles in the Road is the first book I have read by Rhonda Rhea & Kaley Rhea. I hope this is not the only one they have written, because I want more.

This book was an unexpected surprise. It is just pure perfection, as sweet as the day is long. There is a wonderful, quirky cast of characters, and I want to be friends with them all. I want to see Piper coaching basketball, stay with Shawley and Calvin, and hang out (or just observe) Kent and Kariss. 

Humor is subjective and depends on your mood. I laughed so much at this story. Piper finds herself in several painfully hilarious situations. The dialogue is witty, but the story is real. I can see it happening. 

This is one of those stories that I say go into with no expectations. Let the story be the story, and enjoy it! I hope you will fall in love with the characters like I did. 

★★★★★/5

P.S. Don't wait 5 years to read this like I did! 😂

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Sometimes a detour takes you exactly where you need to be. Piper Cope was so sure the Lord called her to be a pastor’s wife. So when her pastor/fiancé breaks it off, she’s every kind of puzzled. Does God even have a purpose for her anymore? On the road halfway between the bridges she’s burned and some kind of new start, she encounters the most unexpected detour. She swerves on a rainy road to miss a turtle and ends up in a ditch with an airbag to the face. Now stuck in this little town, she wonders how in the world she could’ve gotten her God-signals so very crossed. And how in the world is she supposed to know what He wants her to do now? In the meantime, at least the community center guy, Jay Marler, has her working a temporary job there. Problem is, somehow she’s coaching a children’s basketball team. She does not…basketball. And she certainly does not children.
