Review: Restless Heart by Wynonna Judd

When I found out that Wynonna Judd had a book that came out, I was one of the first ones to get it from the library the day it was released. I really like Wynonna's music, and was curious if she is as good at story writing as she is in song writing. I thought the book was good but not great. The book is about Destiny Hart, an up-and-comer country singer, and her journey that gets her to stardom. Her relationship with Seth, her hometown sweetheart, is sweet but the whole time I was reading this, wondering how realistic a relationship would like this would be? Girl becomes famous, boy stays in hometown to coach and teach and they see each other when they can. The end was obviously a happy one but can't help but think that there is definitely still issues that can't be resolved just by saying the words "I love you." Just saying...however, I would recommend this book and think it's a good first effort from Wynonna Judd. I would like to see future protagonists she writes in her books to be a little more complex. And I do think we will be seeing more books from Wynonna!
