Review: Always Think of Me

Always Think of Me book cover on blue background

If you've attended outdoor music festivals, Always Think of Me by Lori Kessey is a book that may speak to you. This unique setting captured my attention, and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to read a story about two young adults who find that they have more in common with each other than they realize.

Many thanks to the author's public relations company for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Synopsis

Sometimes love gives you a second chance. Sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it returns in a way you could never imagine.

Tyrus Cal, TC to his friends, had no plans to leave his party boy life, but when he met Ginny at an outdoor music festival, he fell. Hard. He brought out his best stories to charm her, and she returned the sentiment with long-buried secrets about her traumatic past.

When their budding relationship ends abruptly, TC moves on, assuming he won't get a second chance with the captivating Ginny. But then he does. Just not in the way he expected.

Now he's on an otherworldly mission to see her again. But that means overcoming his doubts, his fears, and stopping Ginny from doing the unthinkable.

Always Think of Me is an uncommon love story about friendship and do-overs and features a perspective on life that can set us free.

Book Thoughts

This was a book that delivered on the unexpected. I hadn't expected to relate to TC in his wandering as much as I did, and I hadn't expected to see the ways I could be hurting myself like Ginny experienced. Using flashbacks, the author wove profound messages of true friendship and love throughout TC and Ginny's interactions. Their story was both heartbreaking and revelatory, giving readers an emotional pull toward their relationship and conversations. At the end of the story, I was overcome by all of the themes packed within, including the consequences of our actions, the role we can play in others’ lives, and how God continues to speak to us, even when we may shut Him out.

All in all, Always Think of Me was a moving story of what happens when we let our circumstances define us rather than God, demonstrating how easily we can fall for the ways of the world. A bit more on the grittier side, this Christian fiction book is unafraid of calling out evil. Readers looking for an impactful story with psychological depth and spiritual meaning will find a lot to explore as they encounter TC and Ginny's characters and the heart behind their encounter.

All the Cheese

I've been coming across content within the past several weeks that has stereotyped Christian books (and other mediums) as being cheesy on Christian accounts. While this isn't a new label or even a new topic, what has surprised me somewhat has been seeing more Christian authors jump into this conversation who wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Although some authors will name others whom they believe are writing non-cheesy fiction, I feel as though the damage has been done by repeating this blanket statement. While readers have freely been engaging in this type of commentary for some time, it's been interesting to see authors chime in, where in some cases, there seems to be an emphasis on self-promotion over reflection. I'm not stereotyping and saying that all authors or even the authors I'm connected to respond with this tactic (because I really don't think they do!), but there are a few out there from my limited experience who seem to respond to this disc...
