Magdelena's Choice Mass market paperbound - 2022

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK Magdelena and Toby want nothing more than to be able to court each other and later marry. But with Toby's dad very sick and the hours he works, it seems almost impossible. So when new neighbors move in with a son Magdelena'a age, her dad decides he is a better fit for Magdelena, especially since his family has money. But she doesn't care about money, but neither dad nor Zach can get that through their heads. I felt so bad for Magdelena. Her parents, Zach and his parents acted so immature. I didn't care for Zach's attitude at all. It wasn't even believable for him to jump into the family and act like he was taking over. For me, this part of the storyline took entirely too much time. In fact it dragged on at the point of being boring. I'm sorry, I love Molly Jebber's books, but this one was too slow for me for a while, then it gets better. I love the storyline, just needed some cut out. All in all, it was a sweet story. I loved Magdelena and Toby. I love Toby's dedication to his dad. And their romance was so very sweet. Toby is a sweetheart and I hope to her from him more in the next books if there are more. I have thoroughly enjoyed these five books in the series. If you enjoy Amish reads, this is one you should try. This one is Four Stars for me. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Magdelena's Choice by Molly Jebber is the fifth novel in the An Amish Charm Bakery series. Each book in An Amish Charm Bakery series can be read as a standalone. If you read them in order, it will allow you to become immersed in Charm and the lives of the ladies who work at the bakery. I thought Magdelena's Choice contained good writing, and the story moved along at a steady pace. I like the characters in the story. I thought they were realistic, and their attitudes suited the time period. We get to meet Abram and Annie Hook who have just moved to Charm. Toby and Magdelena befriend the couple. We get to catch up with the characters from the other four novels in the series. I thought this was a clean, sweet Amish romance. I was not a fan of the repetition. Certain details are repeated over and over. I liked the issues raised in Magdelena's Choice. Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for God's timing. In the meantime, you must pray and continue to do good works. Charity Beachy was a delight. She is such a precocious child. She certainly knows who she wants to marry when she is old enough. I thought Charity and Peter were adorable together. I like how people supported Magdelena and Toby. It can be hard to be obedient when you want to follow your heart. The delicious items at the bakery will have your mouth watering. You will find yourself craving whoopie pies and snickerdoodles. Magdelena's Choice is a charming Amish tale with scrumptious pastries, a clever and crafty Charity, an insistent suitor, a forceful father, compassionate mates, and a firm faith.
