This book was such a breath of fresh air! The story was sweet, heart wrenching, empowering and so REAL! I loved everything about this book. Hahn was able to spin a beautiful story that was warm, witty and flowed so well. I love how it was just explanatory enough; not too much, not too little, just enough. The peak into the hypocrisy of the church really resonates with me. As someone who grew up kind of in between the two, I can envision myself in either Meg's or Micah's shoes. This hits me on a very familiar level as I'm sure it will several others. There is a great message in this story and I'm so full of warm fuzzies after reading this. After reading Never Saw You Coming I discovered it was a follow up to another book. You can believe I will be reading more of Hahn's books, especially if any of them are remotely as engaging and charming as this one.

Thanks to Netgalley for an E-Arc of this book. I think Erin did a phenomenal job. Meg and Micah are two young adults at the end of their teen years dealing with tough situations with their parents. Meg moves to Marquette to meet some of her family that she didn't know that she had growing up. Just a very short time after her move there, she meets Micah, who is dealing with his own situation regarding his family. The two click right away and are accepting of each other's family issues. They find strength, comfort, love, and acceptance together. Erin does a great job of portraying that life is messy and not perfect. We see Meg and Micah struggle with issues and question different things as they grow up and learn to be on their own. Also, she deals with the tough topic that there are many churches where the people that make up the church body are very judgmental and have double standards. Many teens will relate to this book and find comfort that if they are questioning who they are as people, they aren't alone. Many people out there (even outside of social media) portray only the good parts of their life or make their life look perfect. I really like how Erin made the characters feel real and had their lives be messy, and had them questioning things. Teen me definitely could have used this book.

WOW another great story written by Erin Hahn. Never Saw You Coming grabbed me from the start and I couldn't put it down. I love when a book has a dual perspective because it adds something special to the story. Meg and Micah are great characters and I think everyone should read this book because it really opens your eyes to many issues.
