It’s been
a few years since I read this series for the second time, but it was neat to
read it with a different view. I do remember enjoying this second book as a
favorite in the series because of getting to see most of the Carter House Girls
in this one, and to me, that really is like catching up with old friends. It’s
like a cameo or guest star, it’s so fun!
There’s
also quite a bit of faith content from Erin and I do like seeing her thoughts
in a first-person POV. One of the more cleaner books of Melody Carlson’s many YA
series, but still has some comments that some readers might not like.
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
