My review:
This was a sweet Amish romance. I liked that the romance side was lighter. I also liked that they struggled with health issues because it made them more relatable. It was also nice reading about characters from the first book. I really like Laurie Stroup Smith’s writing! I was able to read this whole book in one sitting!
