Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Sweet, caring Amanda Priebe is one of the best friends you could ever hope for . . . except that she just can't mind her own business when it comes to love. She's determined her best friend and travel agency business partner can do better than a simple farmer. Instead, Amanda is set on her friend falling in love with an attractive, well-traveled pastor, never realizing he has his eyes set on Amanda.

When it comes to her own love life--or lack of one--Amanda has no intention of settling down with any man. But then why is she so upset when her lifelong friend, Nate Knighton, becomes so aloof? Maybe the attention of a handsome and sophisticated newcomer will be just the thing to soothe her hurt feelings. . . .

In this tangled web of love, will Amanda finally see that sometimes true love is better than even the best-laid plans?

1.0 out of 5 stars Skip This One ... She's Written Better Books
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022
Verified Purchase
I really wanted to like this book ... read until Chapter 21 & then finally gave up. I read this author's "Possibilities" (Persuasion retelling) and loved it, but the characters & the storyline in "Amanda" (Emma) just never clicked with me. To be honest, I found myself getting bored. There were pages & pages of dialogue, etc. but not much action moving the story forward. And the Amanda character was particularly unlikable... selfish, self-centered, shallow, arrogant, narcissistic, etc. etc. and we're supposed to believe she is a Christian who goes to church regularly? And there wasn't anything quirky, funny, or endearing about her nor does she grow as a character. We only see her bad side, flaws & faults. Neither was there a character that she interacted with alot that balanced her out in some way. It is very difficult to have a really unlikable main character in a book & keep the book balanced were there are more of the fun likable elements to it than the unlikable elements (which makes it hard to read & connect to). I'm sorry but this book doesn't work well & I don't recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute and clean

Her writing isn't Jane Austen's, but I enjoyed the book. Appreciated that it was totally clean. A good read while feeling under the weather.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will she ever learn?
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021
You know the ever meddling type who thinks she knows better than all the rest. Amanda is a character with this belief. You see her caring and compassion and also her judging and plotting. Hopefully she will learn what love is and the benefits of hands off other people's choices.
