Unless I missed some pages I did not see an ending for some main couples; nor resolution in major relationships in general. Not the way I expected this "series" to end. Disappointing

StoryGirlAge: 18-24Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5July 1, 2014StoryGirlAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 2Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1It's been quite some time since I've tried reading an Amish fiction novel. The first Amish book I ever read was The Shunning by Beverley Lewis years ago, and though I did enjoy that series somewhat, any other Amish books I've ever tried to read were just- how do I put this?- not my thing. There were one or two exceptions, but the fact remains that I just don't usually care for them. However, when I saw this book available for review, I decided to try it- after all, I haven't read a book of the genre for a really long time, and I hadn't yet any books by this author before, so I supposed that if I was lucky, I might find something I would enjoy.
Unfortunately, as I read, all the reasons I don't like Amish books reared their ugly heads and in many ways The Revealing was hard for me to get through. I know that a lot of Amish fiction writers have friends who are Amish, or relatives, or even grew up in a plain environment, so they probably know more about these people than I do. But I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that the Amish can be so strict in one area and then so lenient in another. I mean, it seems like these unmarried Amish couples are always out kissing behind barns or getting into "trouble" or whatnot. Sometimes, even though grace and forgiveness are emphasized, these family sagas seem an awful lot like soap operas.
The thing that probably saved this book for me was the character of Jesse, who was hilarious to the point that I would be willing to read a whole book about him. I also enjoyed the "Mrs. Miracle" bits. Still, these high points weren't really enough for the book to win me over.
This was sort of my last-ditch effort for the Amish fiction genre, and though this will probably be enjoyed by Amish fans, this was definitely not my thing. I think it's time to face that fact that Amish Fiction is just one genre I can't get myself to like.
I recived this book for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
