Mitchell, Siri. Love Comes Calling. Minneapolis, MN: Bethany House Publishers. 2014.

SUMMARY:
Set in the 1920s, Ellis Eton is not always the sharpest tool in the shed but manages to get along quite well. Viewing herself as a disappointment to many (family included), Ellis learns she may be asked to leave the esteemed Radcliffe College which seems the perfect opportune time to try her hand at acting in Hollywood. Although money may be an obstacle to her acting career, a two week chance to work as a telephone operator gives her the needed funds but turns out to be much harder than expected, especially when she learns of a threat against the most-handsome Griff…

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Actually not my favorite time in history, I also had a bit of a problem relating to the characters as it was from a younger point-of-view. Though a light and entertaining read, I found it was a bit shallow in depth which may be why I prefer Siri Mitchell’s other writings. I did appreciate the author’s notes on the characters as well as the time period included at the end though. Definitely worth the read; personally, I just couldn’t connect.

RATING:
4 (out of 5) pennies
