About the book: Can Bea and Ben Turn Rivalry Into Romance?
Beatrice Zook knows God wants her to learn patience toward others. When assisting a family overwhelmed by triplets proves surprisingly successful, her confidence in dealing with others, both young and old, grows.
One person she'll never be able to find peace with though is Ben Rupp. They've known each other forever, and Ben understands precisely how to antagonize her. What neither she nor Ben will admit is that beneath all their bickering, attraction awaits. When friends decide to try and bring the couple together, will the pair be able to find true love? Or will they damage their relationship beyond repair?

My Review:
"Becoming Bea" is a fun Amish read with a Shakespearean twist to it! If this is the first book of the series that you are picking up, I highly recommend you first start with the beginning of the series as characters are revisited in each book. Bea is not the "typical" Amish woman that you would read about in "typical" Amish fiction books; Bea is not looking to marry, and raise a houseful of kids, she is more comfortable with books than people. I loved Bea's love of books of course and I found her to be a fun main character of the book and I liked seeing her grow and mature through the novel as at times I was grimacing during her interactions with Ben as it seems that things were going further downhill. However, this was an entertaining book with a great message in it. I highly recommend this series for Amish fans and those who may not be as well as this series has an additional twist to it.
