The Lacemaker by Laura Frantz

3.0

As part of my 2018 romance reading challenge, I was to read a genre I've never read before. I chose Christian romance or inspirational romance. This was my second choice; I could not get into my first choice. I actually thought it was a pretty good historical fiction book, and if you took out the bible quotes, a great choice for ambitious middle school readers. It reminded me a lot of a long version of an American Girl book- not in a bad way. As for the romance, it was sweet but definitely had no heat. I have a high tolerance for religious overtones, as a mildly Christian person, however this would definitely not go over well for most of my atheist California friends. The book could have also had more diverse characters, since it is set in the colonies and they were much more diverse than 18th century London.
