Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 1/4 (4.25 stars)
Read: July 2024
Format: Audible audiobook
Narrator: Melissa Moran
Challenge Prompt: to be decided
Book #69 of 2024: I won this audiobook by Amy Clipston from Kav’s Best Reads. I had read a couple Amish books some time ago by Amy. I admittedly like this contemporary romance genre more.
I listened to half on the way to visit my parents. I finished it today on the way back. I really enjoyed the story a lot and I feel connected to the characters. I definitely recommend it!
The narrator, Melissa Moran, was new to me. She was mostly good in the general stuff, main characters, and even the male characters. Her voices for a couple of the moms (minor characters) were very sing-song and overdone/exaggerated. Sometimes she over-dramatized in other areas as well—at least for my taste.
For the most part I was satisfied with the narration but I’m not sure if I’d listen to something again with the same narrator.
The organ donor storyline was really interesting and I learned some things. There was also an estranged parent and bio-parent storyline that included a lot of raw emotion. I do wish there was more of a faith direction. There was no real talk of God or praying. More of a traditional worldview but no relationships with Christ.
I rated this novel with 4+ stars and I definitely think many will really enjoy it just as I did.
