Review of 'Hidden' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I wanted to love the stuffing out of this book. I really did. Amish love story? YES PLEASE! Except this one sort of fell flat. Everything happened was totally predictable, and the love story was just... meh. One thing I really enjoy about Amish romances is how sweet and mushy-feels-making they are. Well, apparently except for this one.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the book. It just wasn't as awesome as I wanted it to be.
