About the book
Known as "The Peanut Butter Brothers" for their Wisconsin family business, hardworking Andrew, Abraham, and Austin Petersheim have their plates too full for romance--until their little siblings decide to play matchmaker . . .
With their house full to bursting since Mammi and Dawdi moved back in, the Petersheim twins know the only way to get their bedroom back is to get their older brothers married off. But Abraham is so shy, he'll barely speak to girls. Still, they've noticed how he looks at Emma Wengerd at church. Emma is so talkative, Abraham's quiet ways wouldn't matter a bit. Soon, the boys have hatched a scheme that sends Abraham right to Emma's
door--and her chicken coop . . .
Abraham doubts that pretty, popular Emma would be interested in him. Yet when he finds himself by her side, having to straighten out the twins' mischief--more than once--he can't help imagining a future with her. And the more time they spend together, the more Abraham realizes that perhaps no matter how many boys buzz around Emma, with faith, it's only the right one that counts . . .
My thoughts:
My favorite twins are at again in the second book in The Petersheim Brothers series by Jennifer Beckstrand. The twins are livid about having to sleep in the cellar and slightly afraid down there but when your home is filled with family and limited bedrooms, they have no choice. They have reached the conclusion if there are fewer people needing a room, they will eventually get theirs back, so the plans begin to marry off their older brothers.
The hilarity begins again when the boys decide to find Abraham a wife, it worked with Andrew so why not try again? So, Alfie and Benjie spring into action and try their hands at matchmaking once more by setting up the shy Abraham with the popular Emma. The twins plans always seem to go awry and so far have included their funny neighbor Bitsy, animals and their unwitting Dawdi.
The adventure the twins go on to help their brother find true love and getting themselves out of their cellar bedroom is quite entertaining with several laugh out loud moments.
I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for her readers next and if the twins will finally get out of that scary old cellar. Ms. Beckstrand has quickly become one of my must read authors because I love her humorous writing, lovable characters and her books are always suitable for readers of all ages.
I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
