*I got this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review* 




Let me start by saying...WOW! If there were more boys like Josh, this world would be a better place.

I spent 90% of the book fangirling over Josh with a friend. 


This is the first time I read christian fiction and I was a bit worried that I might find it hard, but Worth the Wait wasn't. It had all the things that make a YA novel. It wasn't just christian fiction.

I have to admit that the novel was a bit predictable and everything I predicted was right, but it was one of those novels that you know what's gonna happen, but you stick around to the end.

LET'S talk about the CHARACTERS!

Ellie:

As much as I wanted to hate Ellie, I couldn't because every mistake she made that made me angry and wanting to give her a wake up slap, I did it too and everyone knows that when you're in love you're in a bubble, oblivious to anything bad that happens between you two and will keep dismissing it until finally the bubble bursts and you realize everything you didn't see before.

Cara:

One of the things that gives a novel a bonus in my head is the awesome side characters like Cara (Ellie's bestfriend)

Nick:

Another awesome side character and another bonus (Ellie's brother). Nick is hands down the coolest brother I've seen in a novel, the kind who would endlessly tease his sister but when anyone does anything close to hurting her, he's her guardian.

Dylan:

Dylan made me feel uneasy from the first 10 pages, so I wasn't that surprised when my predictions turned out to be true. 

This is the third book with a Dylan as an asshole boyfriend, I'm afraid i'm gonna stop trusting any Dylans from now on....



and we save the BEST for last,

JOSH!!!!!!

Let's talk about Josh! 
Josh is not real. Josh can't be real. Josh is a fairy tale kind of guy, the kind you read about in romance novels and fangirl over. Josh is the kind of guy who would open your door for you, give you his jacket when you're cold, hold your hand in a crowded place so you won't get separated, save you whenever you need him even if you didn't ask him to, draw perfect pictures of you and see you as the only girl in the world..........You can clearly see that I have a new fictional crush.


All in all, Worth the Wait is a quick and fun read which you can read if you need a break from heavy topics.

Read this as an e-book. Unfortunately not yet available in Egypt but you can always special order it from any bookstore.
