Mixed Signals

"Mixed Signals" is my new all-time favorite book! I can relate to Belle's and Nora's desire to have a solid Christian relationship and stability in their lives. Belle & David & Nora & Patrick all learn that when we rely on our Father to guide us, everything else falls into place. David helps us learn to accept the forgiveness that is ours for the asking. I loaned "Mixed Signals" to a friend at work; she liked it so well she passed it on to another co-worker, & then another...I haven't seen the book for months but look forward to reading it again soon!

This is one of the most delightful surprises I've had all year--a first novel that moved me to both laughter and tears. The author has a real knack for creating realistic dialogue and making a character's problems seem as immediate as a phone call from your best friend. I loved this book. The message is subtle and powerful, and will stay with you long after the book is closed.

I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks and an irrepressible urge to jump to my feet and yell, "Bravo! Bravo!" I just finished MIXED SIGNALS and it absolutely blew me away. I can't believe it was a first novel because it read like it was the author's thirty-fifth book. The prose was incandescent, each character fully realized and unforgettable, and it fully captured the magic of falling in love. And the author hit the inspirational notes with such a light and deft hand that I can feel comfortable giving this book to my non-Christian friends in the hopes that some subtle seeds will be sown. MIXED SIGNALS could hold its own against any secular contemporary on the market today-even those by the romance genre's top authors. I have to admit that I'm a pretty jaded reader, which is why it's even more rare for a book to strike this chord in me, especially a first novel. If it wouldn't be a sin, I'd be bowing at Ms. Higg's feet , but as it is, I'm thanking the Lord for bringing such a special read into my life and hoping the rest of the world is ready to welcome a writer with such an amazing and divine gift to touch both the mind and the heart.

Liz Higgs's blend of humor and romance was just the pick-me-up I needed after several busy days! Finding Mixed Signals my bedside each night was a delight. Liz's characters and setting won't disappoint readers who want a bit of escape, some sweet old-fashioned romance and a whole lot of laughter. I found myself laughing out loud and wishing I could pack my bags and move back to Virginia! Great job.

In MIXED SIGNALS Liz Curtis Higgs has created a world as delightful as Jan Karon's Mitford, populated with characters so real I could almost feel their heartbeats. This book is filled with humor, joy, and grace abundant, the kind of story you want to curl up with and have last forever. If I could, I would give this fast-paced, warm and wonderful story six stars! I loved this book by one of my favorite authors!
