When Calls the Heart
by Janette Oke
Out of all the Oke books I've read recently, I have to say I liked this one best and felt most alive.
Elizabeth could have used a little more realness, but she was still very real all the same. And although I understand that it was 1st person, and so of course focused more on Elizabeth, I would have rathered seeing more a Wynn and the others more. I loved all the school families, and I have to say that the whole plot hinted of the same plot as Arleta Richardson's "A School of Her Own". It was not exactly the same, but there were many hints of it being the same, so although it WAS a new read for me, it felt vaguely familiar.
There is some romance in this book, and it is a little more described than in the previous books I have read by Oke's, but it was still very clean.
There are a few scenes that caused me second-hand embarrassment: someone pretending they were hurt to get the attention of a member of the opposite gender, and someone freaking out over coyotes. This probably wouldn't bother most people, but it does bother me lol.
CONTENT: A couple 2-3 times, 2 non-described, once barely described. Some deceiving, condemned and apologized for.
