Amy Clipston always delivers with sweet, clean romances! At some points I found this story to be a little cheesy, but it was still very enjoyable.

This book is the first in a series that follows a group of cousins who work at a local market. At first, I found it a little difficult to keep up with all cousins/characters, but I'm sure that will get easier as I continue the series.

This novel focuses on Christiana, her love of baking, and her complicated relationship with a young man she meets at the market. I found their interactions at little immature at points, but it was nice to see the male lead struggling with some very human emotions, like self-confidence issues.

This book does a great job of showing how life can be messy, unpredictable, and downright confusing, but it's all part of God's plan, and if we have faith, everything will work out. I really appreciated that message!
