My personal Rating-
While this probably wasn’t my absolutely favorite book in the series, I did like and enjoy it. I’ve enjoyed Elizabeth’s stories the most out of the girls besides Kate’s. I really enjoy seeing her faith and how it’s such an important part of her life. (Though, did we know that Elizabeth sings, writes music, and plays an instrument? I don’t remember that from the prior books…?) Overall a good story and it was fun to see Elizabeth and Bailey together again. :)

My personal Rating-

I remember this book being the only one in this series where there is a little bit of potential relationship content. Elizabeth blushes over a boy, but I was proud of her for asking God to help her know what to do and how to act. Nothing goes farther than a few blushes (when eye contact or teasing is done) and it’s still very clean.
