Sarah Price could write a phone book and I would read it. Listening to her Amish stories are always a joy. Edna's holiday season is jam packed - she makes and serves meals to tourists in her house and she is overbooked. She needs helps desperately. When she voices her concerns to her friends at her cookie club they come up with a plan to help her; what they don't realize is that their solution may have other unintended affects. Bethany is a shy and painfully quiet girl who doesn't even like to leave the house. When her mother forces her to go into town to get supplies after breaking her ankle, Bethany quite literally runs into a charming young man. The young man happens to be Edna's son and before you know it - the cookie club is up to their scheming ways. Can they match these two young couples? Great narration on the audiobook - that's for sure and certain.

4.5 stars, rounded up.
Another fantastic book from Sarah Price! This is the second in the Amish Cookie Club series, following four friends with a passion for baking and a hobby of matchmaking within their communities. In this installment, we follow the children of Edna and Mary, both of whom are quiet, thoughtful and reserved. I so enjoyed meeting these characters and seeing their relationship blossom!

4.5 stars! This reminds me a little of Jennifer Beckstrand's new book Abraham (releases 11/26/19). In this one, Bethany is painfully shy and skittish around strangers. But John, who is also quiet and reserved, is very comfortable with who he is. He is willing to draw Bethany out, which was lovely to watch. This doesn't have the psychological/emotional wrestling of the Beckstrand book, yet both were enjoyable for different reasons. I loved that this didn't have a big Hallmark-movie sort of conflict or misunderstanding to wreck and risk the romance. Instead there's a nice slow build as the characters get to know each other and their families circle around them. This was warm and sweet and I loved it!
