I was super intrigued by this book.
The subject of saint Valentine has always been somewhat of an enigma, so I wanted to know more.
The illustrations of this book are really interesting and unique. Giving the impression of a stained glass window kind of effect. Reminiscent of the old tudor tapestries. It was really striking, especially on the front cover.

I have to admit, I didn't think the book told much about Saint Valentine, and I was left wanting more. The afterword by the author however, did reveal more - so urge anyone that reads this book does in fact read the afterword too.

Thank you InterVarsity Press and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a Catholic, I try to read as much as I can about my faith. My boyfriend (it's a long distance relationship) is epileptic and we've been praying St. Valentine's Novena quite often now because St. Valentine too was epileptic so when I saw this book on Netgalley, I knew that I had to read it and it is the cutest little book I've ever read.
Perfect not just for kids but even for adults because at times we forget that there isn't just one kind of love. Love is beautiful and kind.
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars🥺🤍

As a recent Catholic convert, I pick up anything about the saints that I can get my hands on. This book was so easy to read and perfect for the intended audience. And I learned a lot while still being entertained. I’ll be buying a copy to donate to my church!
