The Amish Matchmaker by Amy Lillard is an amusing story. I chuckled often while reading this entertaining tale. I thought the story contained good writing with interesting characters. I loved Astrid who is confident and outgoing. She also has an unusual profession for an Amish woman. Imogene's twin boys, Mattie and Mahlon Yoder, were a hoot. They are ten years old and constantly getting into mischief. They kept the story lively. It was good to see the characters grow and become better people as a result of the meddling. Astrid learns a good life lesson that she will not soon forget. I liked that we get to see the importance of being pushed out of our comfort zone. It may be uncomfortable, but we are better for it in the end. I loved the epilogue that nicely wrapped up the book. This was a fun story about friendship, family, meddling, and mischievous twins. This is one of those feel-good stories that leaves you with a smile on your face when you finish it. I am looking forward to One More Time for Joy. The Amish Matchmaker is the second book in the Paradise Valley series. It can be read as a standalone, but you will be missing out. The Amish Matchmaker is a heartwarming, lighthearted tale with impish twins, writing troubles, a meddlesome matchmaker, a doggy dilemma, festival fun, and happy hearts.
