⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
I really enjoyed Leaving by Karen Kingsbury! It was very engaging and kept my attention throughout the whole book. I loved getting to follow Bailey Flanigan as she entered a new season of her life, pursuing her dreams and dealing with all the changes that came along with them.
One thing I especially liked was that the book didn't focus only on Bailey’s story. We also got to follow Cody and see what was happening in his life, along with Brandon Paul and the other characters. I liked seeing Bailey’s relationships with both Cody and Brandon develop and change. There were definitely moments that made me wonder where everything was going to lead!
I also really enjoyed the Baxter family side of the story, especially Ashley and Landon’s storyline. Having several different stories going on at once made the book feel fuller. Instead of feeling like completely separate stories, the characters and their lives connected in different ways, which made me want to keep reading.
I liked the Christian themes throughout the book too. The characters are dealing with dreams, relationships, family, changes, and difficult decisions while also trying to trust God with what comes next. I think that added a lot of heart to the story.
The title Leaving fits the book really well because so many of the characters are entering new seasons of life. Bailey especially has to leave behind what is familiar as she begins chasing her dreams and figuring out what her future might look like.
I just borrowed the next book in the series, Learning, and I’m excited to keep reading! :) I really like this series so far, and I definitely want to know what happens next with Bailey, Cody, Brandon, and the rest of the characters.
I also have to thank Courtney Whitaker for introducing me to this series of Karen Kingsbury’s books in the first place. I’m so glad I decided to give this series a try!
