Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I Promise
Robin Jones Gunn · 2001
75/100
👍 Worth It
A warm, clean payoff for fans who have followed Christy and Todd through many books — the faith-grounded pre-marriage tension feels honest rather than sanitized. This one earns its emotional weight through years of series investment, though first-time readers will feel like they walked into the final act of someone else's wedding. If you know Christy, you'll love it.
