 In 22 and Single : A Coming of Age Story , Katie <unk> wrote that , after reading the first chapter of When God Writes Your Love Story , she stopped because " it was too hard to hear about the wonderful way in which God brought another perfect couple together — because it wasn 't happening for me . " She wrote that her friends kept recommending the book to her , even after she had tried starting it . She eventually decided that the reason she didn 't like the book was her own selfishness in seeking to fulfill her own desires rather than leaving her desires for God to work out . She then read the book again , and wrote that God used her reading of it to make her thankful for her time as a single person . She also wrote that she found the book to be " mostly about letting God 's love overflow into all areas of your life rather than tales of perfect Christian couples . "
