Not Just Another Amish Fiction


You know those books you can’t put down and stay up all night reading?  Well sadly this isn’t one of them.  I really wanted to love this book, but I just couldn’t relate with the characters.  The lead character, Molly, is not very likable and is an obsessively controlling person.  Her best friend, isn’t really a friend at all and the men in the story are incredibly fickle. 

I did like the Amish culture weaved into the storyline; it wasn’t like every other Amish story that I’ve read.  It was one of the few books that I didn’t know right away who the “heroine” was going to end up with.  The grammar in this book may have profited from a bit of editing, but that’s forgivable!

This book is a good Amish retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but I couldn’t get into it.


I was given a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.
