The Vow: The Kim & Krickitt Carpenter Story by Kim Carpenter

This one was a pretty mixed read for me. The story itself is really powerful, and knowing it’s true adds a whole extra layer to it. What happened to Kim and Krickitt is incredibly emotional, and I definitely found myself thinking about how hard that kind of situation would be to go through.

I liked the heart behind it. You can tell how much commitment and faith played a role in their relationship, and there are moments that really hit, especially when it comes to rebuilding love from scratch. Those parts felt genuine and meaningful.

At the same time, it didn’t always pull me in the way I expected. The writing felt a little flat in places, and I wish there had been more depth emotionally. I kept wanting to feel more connected to what they were going through instead of just hearing about it. Some parts also felt a bit repetitive.

Overall, I’m glad I read it, and I can see why it’s meaningful to so many people, but I just didn’t fully connect with it as much as I hoped.
