Aaron Coblentz has a secret: he’s been studying to take the GED to get promoted at work. But he can’t let his Amish family know, not when his older brother already left the faith just a year after getting baptized, practically crippling the family. When Aaron asks bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for some additional study guides, she does one better. She arranges for Kayla Kaufman to be his tutor.
Kayla has a secret, too. Her life has been turned upside down in a matter of months—her mother’s death propelled her father into a constant state of depression, and unable to deal with his erratic behavior, her longtime boyfriend has broken things off. But despite losing those she holds most dear, she hasn’t completely given up on love. Only now she seeks to find it in the sweet romance novels she secretly checks out from Sarah Anne’s bookmobile.
As Aaron and Kayla’s study sessions start to feel less like work and more like pleasure, they soon realize that happily ever afters don’t only happen in fiction; sometimes they happen when you least expect it.
I loved the visitors to the
bookmobile, Sara Anne Miller, the sweet, caring driver of the bookmobile and the
wonderful characters we meet along the way.
Some we get to know in depth while others, I believe we’ll get to know
better in the next book in the series. The
Coblentz family are a fun, loving family, which is the complete opposite of Kayla
Kaufman and her family. I liked Aaron
and Kayla so much, they are both capable, kind people but they don’t always see
that in themselves.
One of my favorite things is
how the author begins each chapter with the rules about the bookmobile from Sara
Anne. They are quite amusing and
clever.
Overall, I thought this book
is worthy of a 5-star review because it’s truly a terrific read. I look forward to the next book in the series. Add this one to your TBR.
I received a copy through
Netgalley and have given my honest opinion.
