Promise Me submitted by eagles on August 20, 2013, 12:01pm This book is a very trusting book about a girl who has lost everything, and then meets a man from the future who is supposed to marry her six year old daughter. It was a really touching book, it was a good book, I rated it 5 stars

Good book with a twist submitted by ValerieL on June 19, 2017, 2:25pm Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans is very different than many Mr. Evans' books. It's still an excellent book, but it is not his "usual" fare.

I've been a fan of Mr. Evans since shortly after The Christmas Box came out and an even bigger fan after I met him at a book signing for Finding Noel and was impressed by how awesome he is with his fans. :)

Mr. Evans did warn his newsletter subscribers that there was going to be a twist to this book that may throw off some readers. I was not as thrown with the plot twist as my mom and some other fans because I actually enjoy books with that sort of plot twist and I'm used to reading about them.

That being said, Promise Me is still filled with the well-rounded, fleshed-out characters that we've come to expect from Mr. Evans. They're still facing the life-changing events and learning to trust, love, and live again like many of his stories. There are still important reminders within the story such as how the seemingly small changes in our lives can have the biggest impact.

I would've preferred that the story to go a bit beyond where it ended. It would've given readers a chance to see how the characters handled things once everything was back to normal, it was still a beautiful Christmas story.

I've recommended it highly to many of my friends, though I do make sure to tell them that it is a bit different from his previous works. You just have to stretch your mind and open it up to new possibilities. So, are you willing to suspend your disbelief? If you are, buy it, read it, love it! :)
