I enjoyed this book and it did not come across as preachy at all. The characters are mostly open with each other just as people we may meet in real life. They only know their side of several situations and struggle when learning the rest of the story for why someone acted the way they did. I give this book 5 of 5 stars. I found it difficult to put down. I believe it will appeal to a wide audience as there is so much more than golf in the overall story.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
