Blurb (from back cover): "In the wake of a painful breakup and struggling to provider herself at work, Julia feels adrift. When Bryce blows into her life, he seems like the perfect anchor. Handsome, charming, secure, and confident, Bryce brings out the best in Julia, sweeping her off her feet with attention and affection while grounding her with his certainty and faith. Together they embark on a path guided by the principles of his family and their church, each step a paving stone leading to happily ever after.
"But this is no fairy tale.
"Step by step, one small concession leading to another, Julia is slowly isolated from her job, her friend, and her family, until she comes to find that her dream come true is a cage. Then one day everything changes...and Julia is faced with no choice but to find a way out."
Opinion: Great way of describing how one can get caught up in a cult/abusive situation but the ending was rushed. And the solution was too quick after all of the rest of the book. Throughout reading it, I kept shaking my head at the naivety of Julia.
