If you are looking for a sweet historical fiction read that keeps you guessing, The Darling's Daughter by Sydney Schmied needs to go straight to the top of your TBR! It was fast-paced with just the right amount of twists and turns, and it completely filled that craving I always have for a cozy, heartwarming historical romance. Beyond the mystery, I loved the beautiful themes of faith, redemption, and forgiveness woven throughout the story. It kept me on my toes from start to

This was interesting and the plot was well done, but the drama was a bit too... high school. That's probably a terrible take since it's a mystery about highschoolers so maybe the book just isn't for me. That being said if you like fast-paced mysteries with a ton of drama you might like this. One thing I will say is it does deal with sensitive themes and there is profanity throughout, so I actually wouldn't recommend the age range the publishers are pushing it towards (13-18),

Does it bother anyone when the movie butchers the story it was based on?
