Loving Jenna Amy Lillard




Description:

In this new novel set in the beloved Oklahoma Amish community of Wells Landing, three generations of women challenge themselves and each other to make a fresh start in faith, family—and love.
Jenna Burkhart is tired of being “special” and hearing about what she can't do. Even though she suffered a head injury in a childhood swimming accident, she wants a life of her own just like any Amish woman. But now that she, her mamm, and her mammi have moved to Wells Landing, she's having a hard time fitting in. . . . Until she meets Buddy Miller, a boy just like her, who gives her the confidence to reach for the impossible . . .

Like Jenna, Buddy is used to being the boy no one expects much from, the one people see as “different.” Still, being around Jenna’s lively, kind-hearted ways makes him strive ever-harder to become the self-sufficient Amish man she deserves. But in the face of family disapproval and their own fears, will Jenna and Buddy's courage be enough to give them a forever happiness together?

My thoughts on the book:

I was not a fan for this book at all. I felt like for the first 4 to 5 chapters the author spent dwelling and repeating about the way the main characters are "simple" minded it became to the point of annoying. I also felt like the author tries to make these characters be grown up or at least that's what Jenna and Buddy wanted to be seeing as grown ups but they came off very childish and it just didn't seem to fit the tone of the book. I will say for the most part it is a clean read there is one scene I am sure someone will be offended by but to each his own. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
