Anna Mary Zook works at the farmer’s market and takes care of her mother and five siblings. Her mother suffers from depression after the death of her second husband. And if that isn’t enough, Anna Mary’s boyfriend is enamored by another girl.
Abe King is helping his uncle while his brothers fill in for their dead with a large dairy farm. Abe sees the best about Anna Mary.
I just never got “into” this book. I found Anna Mary to be a shrew when dealing with her boyfriend, Josh. If I had been him, I would have hit the door running and never come back. Abe was over-the-top nice and understanding. I often wondered while reading and Abe was extolling the understanding and kindness of Anna Mary if he would feel that way had he been on the receiving of her diatribe. Honestly, if this had been a Kindle Unlimited book instead of a NetGalley ARC, I would have logged this one as did-not-finish.
Exactly at 50% into the book the story got better. Less of Josh so less of Anna Mary lighting into him.
So, sorry — I can’t recommend this book. Too many negative, tongue-lashing scenes between Anny Mary and Josh. Too-too-good-to-be-true Abe. While the second half of the book, thank goodness, was much better, it wasn’t enough for this reviewer to bring the rating to three stars.
I received a complimentary DRC (digital review copy) of Missing Her Amish Boyfriend via NetGalley from the publisher, Kensington Books | Kensington. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
