I Finally Read an Amish Romance
Book Review: Adoring Addie By Leslie Gould
Adoring Addie is a fun, light hearted Amish romance based not-so-subtly on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In some ways, the references are charming and not immediately noticeable, like when Onkel Bob says something along the lines of “They stumble that run fast”. Other times, it’s a bit forced and corny, like near the end, when Johnathan’s pain meds are left out and Addie’s mother briefly assumes that they both ended themselves, when in fact, it was a twisted misunderstanding.
