Review of When God Says No
When we are faced with predicaments, we tend to look for comfort. At that stage of our lives, the only thing that matters to us is ourselves and where to find acceptance and love. Such was the experience of Ryoka.
Ryoka usually spends some time alone at the beach to think about her love Saki that she lost. Her past was overwhelming, including her family issues. While on the beach one day, she identified and saved Rie, who seemed to have a similar past. This would probably begin a relationship that will open them to similar experiences in their past lives.
This book was very captivating. The storyline was so interesting that I couldn't take my eyes off the book. I loved that this book is centered on love. Even though the characters found love in the same-sex relationship, they demonstrated an act of love for each other beyond human understanding.
When God Says No by Reina Sasaki was not a preachy book about same-sex couples. For instance, Miss Himura played the role of advising and encouraging the girls to follow their hearts and do what they feel it's right. This Miss Hamura's act shows God's in-depth love and acceptance of his children despite our religious backgrounds and orientation.
I further love the author's excellent style of writing. The author specifically discussed a particular character in each part of the book. The author's perfect style of relating the three parts together added context and background to the book.
Also, I’ve learned a lot from this book and its characters. One of the parts I enjoyed most was when Rie placed her life at risk to save Ryoka in the swimming race challenge. She was determined to save Ryoka's life even when she knew she might not attain her aim. I felt the warmth of their friendship.
In addition, I admired how the author ended the book. Reading from the first part to the last part of the book, one could see that the author concentrated on young adults and most of their hidden struggles. Lastly, she gave enough advice for young adults to assimilate and practice.
After considering the whole book, there was nothing that I disliked about the book. This book was well edited, as I found only a few spelling errors in the book. Therefore, I would gladly rate When God Says No 4 out of 4 stars.
I would love to recommend this book to anyone seeking freedom from their past and present situation. I will also recommend this book to young adults, especially females going through the problem of acceptance and love.

I also love the non-preachy books that really show an understanding and respect for all people. However, the extremely religious title is a little off-putting and hypocritical considering the church's role in prejudice. Still, reconciliation has to begin somewhere.Ivvie Ivanova wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 11:03 I love this. I love seeing non-preachy non-prejudiced books about LGBT.
