My personal Rating-
Ack! This
was so cute! I’m not sure how Miss Carrie Turansky does it, but I’ve enjoyed
every book I’ve read by her! The characters are always fantastic, the faith
content is always impressive, & the storylines are always so sweet! Add those
three descriptions together and you have a cute-swoon-worthy read! This novella
didn’t feel rush to me as much as most other novellas do, so that was also a
bonus! :)
See y’all
