SYNAPSIS
Samuel Payton is a passionate youth pastor in Virginia, but below the surface, he’s still recovering from the blow of a failed business and insecurities he can’t shake. His coworker, start-up expert Kimberly Foster, is brilliant, fearless, and capable, but years of personal rejection have left her defensive and longing for a family. Two people have never been more at odds—or more attracted to one another. And every day at work, the sparks sure do fly.
When Kimberly’s ambitious plans for Sam’s ministry butt up against his risk-averse nature, Sam decides that obligations to family trump his work for the church. He quits the ministry and heads home to Australia to help his sister, Jules, save her struggling farm. As Kimberly’s grand plans flounder, she is forced to face the truth: that no one can replace Sam. Together they strike up a deal: If Kimberly comes to work on Jules’s dairy farm and lends her business brains to their endeavor, then maybe—just maybe—Sam will reconsider his future with the church.
As Kimberly tries her hand at Australian farm life, she learns more about herself than she could’ve ever expected. Meanwhile Sam is forced to re-evaluate this spunky woman he thought he already knew. As foes slowly morph into friends, they wonder if they might be something even more. But when disaster strikes the farm, will Sam find it within himself to take a risk that could lead to love? And will Kimberly trust God with her future?

My Review 💛
I just have to say...I loved this book! It has such a positiveness and such sense of adventure, and was a really fun read. A Girl's Guide to the Outback was not what I was expecting, though it was a pleasant surprise. I didn't read the synopsis beforehand (I'm one of those readers that enjoys being surprised) and I think this benefited my reading experience.
A Girl's Guide to the Outback is the perfect balance of faith, love, and the messiness of life. Highly recommend!!
This is definitely a feel good book yet it still has that deepness, with almost character in a journey to self-discovery. The imagery of the Australian outback captures the imagination in such a wonderful way. The ending, though predictable, captured my heart. I knew that Sam and Kimberly would find out a way to be together somehow, but who I really wanted to see, and rooted for throughout the novel, is Jules and Mick. I adored their magnetism and Jules and her sass was perfection!
My Rating: ★★★★★
