The Mystery is a book that I had on my TBR pile for years and, even though I was eager to read it, I never picked it up until recently. Sadly, it was a disappointment to me. I didn't like some of the content in the book and disagreed with other things. Not a book for me or one I recommend.

“Some stuff I liked and related to. Some stuff I hated and couldn’t relate to at all.”
~ Lacey Sturm; The Mystery

Mrs. Sturm summed up my thoughts on her own book. I really liked her aim at purity in relationships and her heart for sharing the love of God with her readers. I disliked the use of expletives in the first half of the book. At times the sentence structure was jumpy and hard to follow, which made reading it more effort than I cared for.

For me, this was an okay book with clearly good intentions. It missed the mark for me, but I think others might appreciate it better and get more out of it than I.

Content:
* expletives
* alcohol
