Mommynificent’s Review

While this book didn’t tickle my funny bone like Beckstrand’s Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series, I still enjoyed it. Andrew and Mary’s journey was a treat to read, and I enjoyed the growth each character experienced. I know the antics of Andrew’s younger twin brothers are supposed to be funny, and I did chuckle a few times, but I have to admit I cringed just as often as I laughed. The mom in me struggled to find their antics and sneaking around funny – I feel like this might be the kind of humor grandparents enjoy more than moms. I did appreciate their mom sort of getting the last laugh! I also really enjoyed Bitsy’s reappearance in this series! I loved her in the Honeybee Sisters books and always wanted to know more of her story!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley.

Mommynificent’s Review

Like the first book in this series, I didn’t find this book particularly funny which is my very favorite thing about Beckstrand’s books, but I still enjoyed the story. Abraham was so very sweet, and to be honest, he deserved better than he got in this story in my opinion. I did enjoy Emma’s story arc, but the lows she reached were pretty awful, and Abraham turned out to be a better person than I am. My favorite characters in the story were Bitsy and Abraham’s mom. I love how they both know more than they let on, and they both make me laugh.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley.
