I don't think I'll ever give these books less than a 5 star rating, to be honest. They're just so entertaining and educational at the same time and you end up feeling for the Ingalls so much in every story and wanting them to just be happy and safe and healthy. This story was no exception. We did get to know Almanzo a bit better and I like where it ended. I'm looking forward to the last book. I would recommend this book and series. 5 out of 5 stars.
This book was all about Laura and Almanzo courting and it was adorable as all get-out. It passes quickly, with the focus mainly on the two of them, though Mary and Laura's relationship is developed a bit more. Mary feels more distant, but I presume that's because she's becoming ever more independent. It's a little sad though, to watch Ma and Pa lose closeness with both Mary and Laura at the same time.

My kids (10, 7, 6) and I just finished this, and it is now one of my favorites of the Little House series. I loved "watching" Laura grow up and her relationship with Almanzo unfold.
