I really enjoyed this simple love story. I also loved the historical aspect for the setting. I was obsessed with Titanic as a little girl so I enjoyed the role this book played into the characters. I also loved how their faith and growth was interwoven throughout the story.I love how much Annie progressed throughout the story and how much she grew. And Michael's devotion to her was beyond admirable.The only thing I didn't like was the very end. I wanted to see a bit more, but overall, I enjoyed the story. Sometimes I find a book that captures my attention so completely, that sets my heart racing, and beckons me to return to its pages every spare minute just to find out what will happen to my favorite characters. That riveting book is Promise Me This, and I can promise you that once you meet Owen, Michael and Annie you’ll find that this novel about their lives is divinely written. My first thought when I ordered this book was that it would be interesting to read some historical fiction based on the Titanic’s tragic voyage; but I soon found out that the Titanic is just the starting point of this incredible heart wrenching story of self-sacrifice, death and survival. Because even though someone survived the ice berg, it wasn’t the end, there was a war encroaching right around the corner. Even without the Titanic and the war, just the challenges and hardships these young people went through kept my mind invested in their lives. For me it was a mixture of Dickens and Call the Midwifes; with orphans, and a bitter old rich aunt, selfless nurses, and some kind hearted families to show them love and faith. I loved this quote “He showed us how to live a bigger story than our own, to keep going, keep living and encouraging others to live until our last breath.” Definitely a 5 star rating.
