My Amish Boyfriend Review

My Thoughts: I thought this book has some interesting concepts.  A family member meeting an Amish family she never knew existed.  A young daughter trying to take care of an ailing mother on her own, and fighting as an advocate to improve her mother's health.  All very good concepts.  I enjoyed the story, the struggle that Shannon faced as she tried to come to terms with whether she could fit into the Amish faith, or if her English faith was what would sustain her.  Pros of the story, great writing, as usual from Melody, Shannon was someone you wanted to be friends with, even though she was a bit confused about several things.  Cons of the story, way too much passion and a bit too racy in some parts.  The romance was a bit fast for a YA story.  Over all, a great book 4 stars from this reviewer.
