Requested and downloaded this book back in 2013 with every intention of reading it but then it expired on my device before I had the chance. Have felt bad about that and as a result haven't wanted to leave a review but with more and more publishers relying on Feedback ratings I need to clear out some of these older titles in my queue.

Just like with the first book, BELONGING ended with quite a bang! There's something about this story and these characters that are incredibly readable and addictive.

I really liked that we got to see Sam's POV, as he gave balance to the story, I thought. He provided another side to the problems Rose and Noah face. And that's probably my favorite part of this series - how Karen Ann Hopkins shows the good and the bad of the Amish lifestyle. I appreciated the fairness and how she approaches the relationship between Rose and Noah in a real way.
