This was an amazing short read. First, I love the fact that it takes place near my hometown of Pittsburgh. The mention of Primanti’s sandwiches and Forbes Avenue brought back so many memories; maybe Rebekah and Braeden will be able to explore Kennywood or even go to a Steeler’s game one day. Back to the story, Amish Summer is a sweet innocent love story between an Amish girl and a boy from the otherside; the world of the Americanized English. Can I see this type of scenario actually happening, of course! There is temptation, regardless of the culture, to want what you have been strictly forbidden; who one falls in love with cannot be helped as this story demonstrates. The character of Jakob was one I could see actually in an Amish society, wanting to always do the right thing, but will listen when a girl tells him otherwise, i.e. the truck incident. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series to find out more about Mercy and to see how Rebekah and Braeden’s relationship progresses during the college years. Great read and definitely recommend for young and old alike.
