Book Review: Liz Curtis Higgs

That's one handsome looking dude eh? Oh random people who pose for cover art. As cover artists go I would say that this guy is like the Fabio of Christian novels! Anywho! This was a three book series: Thorn In My Heart, Fair is the Rose, and Whence Came a Prince. I didn't expect to commit to a new series when my stepmom handed me the first one. I was kinda hooked after that... which wasn't great because each book is about 500 pages. You know after three books I now feel like a few friends are gone (I'm sappy I know).  Essentially it is a retelling of the story of Jacob, Rachel and Leah from the Book of Genesis but set in 18th Century Scotland. It's all about boy falls in love with girl, but secretly get married to her sister (who isn't as pretty), and then a whole lotta heartache. Basically you are upset the whole time you read the books, but have no fear as last few chapters make you feel better! Oh Love! Oh Scotland! Oh descriptions of pretty clothing! I'm not sure I sold it well, but seriously... read it!
