So far, this book was my favorite in the series! It was much easier to keep up with all the characters and I found Salina and Will's story much more interesting than Christiana and Jeff's. Their Amish/Mennonite relationship was unique and not something I see a lot of in this type of fiction.

Throughout this book the author emphasized how you can use different ways to feel close to God. Salina mentioned praying and talking to The Lord while gardening, and Will mentioned feeling close to God while he follows his passion for cooking. It's so true that when we follow God's plan for our lives by using the talents and passions He gave us, we will feel closer to Him! I loved that message!

I also enjoyed the overall theme of following your heart. It was difficult at times to wait for the characters to make up their minds, but just like in real life, relationships aren't always easy!

One thing I noticed was that both this book and the first in the series had a domineering father that refuses to listen to his daughter until the last moment. I don't enjoy that trope and hope it is left out of the next book!
