FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
A Letter From Lancaster County by Kate Lloyd was a good book. I wasn’t sure that I was going to like this book, but in the end, it is a sweet story and one that I could see reading again in the future. At times I got bored while reading this book because there were parts that I think had too many details in it but that could just be me. I loved watching the relationship between Rose and Angela change throughout the book because it made the characters more relatable. I also liked that this book things from the Amish and Mennonite communities because I am a sucker for those types of books. I love that this book covered both worlds and I am sure that is one reason I enjoyed this book as much as I did. If you love contemporary fiction books, I am sure that you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
