Romeo and Juliet with a Happy Ending?? Adoring Addie by Leslie Gould

Main ingredients for an Amish book:
~show a simple life
~have a sweet ending

How, then, could Leslie Gould even attempt to use Romeo and Juliet as the inspiration for her newest Amish novel? I mean, come on. The most tragic love drama of all time??? How can that possible come to a conclusion that would please the average reader of Amish fiction?

Since Leslie did such a great job with Courting Cate, which was inspired by The Taming of the Shrew, I was willing to bet she could do it. (See my review of that here.) Few books have me racing through the pages anymore--either because I'm analyzing the unique ones as an author or because I've seen the plot before--but I ADORED Adoring Addie, and I bet you will, too.
