In Every Heartbeat: Book Review

I have finished reading the novel, In Every Heartbeat by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I enjoyed this book about a group of friends that grew up in an orphanage together. The friends went off to college and learn just how much they mean to each other when there are faced with challenges along the way. I found this book to be a little slower read than most, it might be that although I connected to the characters the story was a little underdeveloped. And although I enjoyed the story I am only giving it 3 1/2 stars. I received this book for purpose of review from Bethany House Publishers. I am under no obligation to give this book a positive review.
