Book Description:

When Olivia gets news of her best friend Dan’s fatal car accident, her entire life is upended. Shattered with grief and struggling to find any meaning or purpose to life, she trudges along with a gaping void in her heart. Finally, when her frustration reaches its peak, Olivia decides to trust Dan’s eternal friendship. That trust allows him to break through to her from the beyond, and Dan guides Olivia through the twists and turns of her life into something new and entirely unexpected.

When Olivia exposes a gigantic internal scandal at work, her career implodes. With no job and no one to turn to, she escapes to Palm Springs for the sympathy and care of her beloved cousin, Garrett. He isn’t quite the comfort Olivia hoped for, but on that journey, meets someone who fills the void in her heart. She’s never experienced such a deep love. It heals her soul and rekindles her spirit - and just may have been the design of her dearly departed friend all along.

Beyond Believing is a sweet, funny and romantic story that touches the heart, serves up delicious twists and turns, and shows the reader that there’s no such thing as “coincidence.” Author D.D Marx regards this book as her love letter to friendship.

My Review

I thought this was a charming, sweet read. I liked the characters in this story. Olivia is a sweetheart and a bit of a klutz. Ok, to be honest, maybe only a klutz around Finn. Which, their first meeting was a memorable one. Finn is endearing. Instantly, he throws off warm vibes. Also, I can't forget about Olivia's cousin, Garrett. He brought the entertainment and laughs.

In regards to everything that Finn endured with his wife; it is amazing that he was able to have a positive outlook on life. The same goes for Olivia. Although, she needed a little more of a push. She is lucky she had a guardian angel looking over her in her former friend, Dan.

The romance between Olivia and Finn was like apple pie...comforting, delicious, and sweet. The paranormal or reincarnation aspect of this story was a nice touch. The signs were there so it would not come as a surprise to readers when the reveal came from Olivia near the end of the story. For readers looking for a new book to read or fans of contemporary romances with a dash of sweetness and fun, you should check Beyond Believing out.
