My Review:
God, is it against the rules to want to strangle one's boss?
From the first line, I was instantly invested. Maddie is rough around the edges, as expected, given her past. I loved her authentic faith and prayers. It was admirable that she was turning her life around and wanted custody of her brother. I really enjoyed the first half of the story. It is filled with humorous situations.
Rueben is practically engaged to Livy when he meets Maddie. He is a first-class jerk. Throughout the story, he is hot and cold. Honestly, I didn't like him for Maddie. While he somewhat redeems himself, I still wasn't a fan.
The ending came fast and could have been fleshed out a bit more. Overall, a cute story.
★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
She moved to Sandwich, Illinois, in search of a new life, but ended up in a giant pickle. Sandwich represents hope for twenty-year-old Maddie Buckner and Kyle, the eleven-year-old brother Maddie wants to spring out of foster care. Then she loses her new job after less than a day. It 's all Reuben-the-Jerk 's fault, and she 's determined to make him right the wrong. He does so, reluctantly, by giving her a job at his restaurant, The Sandwich Emporium. Then crazy things start happening at the restaurant, and Kyle 's foster parents apply to adopt him. To stop it all, Maddie must learn the art of humbling herself and accepting the help God has arranged, risking her heart to Reuben in the process. And she d rather eat a million corned-beef on rye sandwiches than do that.
