I'm always seated for a Book of Ruth retelling, especially one that's as well-written as this one!
I like what Heather Blanton did with Ruth's story, you can see the parallels, but she still found a way to make the story her own.
It was such a heartwarming read, despite the villain being truly awful. But we will be ignoring Leroy's existence from here on out, okay!! Only happy vibes allowed.
I really love Ruth as a character, Noemie too. Blanton managed to capture the strong bond between them perfectly. Of course, I care deeply for Montgomery and Bear as well, and cheered for the former's romance with Ruth every step of the way.
I'd say the setting was perfectly chosen, not just because it's one I love reading about, but it also fits the story so well.
This is my first book by this author, but I'll be checking out more of her works in the future.
