Becoming Bea by Leslie Gould #review

Will a childhood rivalry slowly turn to romance? Or will our two main characters fracture their relationship beyond repair?

About Becoming Bea

Beatrice Zook knows God wants her to learn patience towards others. When assisting a family overwhelmed by triplets is quite successful for her, her confidence in dealing with others grows.

One person that she will never be able to find peace with is Ben Rupp. They have known each other forever and Ben understands precisely how to crawl under her skin. 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 Thoughts

A simple story of young love that grows and matures in to so much more. Both so unsure of their own feelings, they both need to come to accept their feelings and figure out how to act on them. Bea is a beautiful young woman who is learning much about herself in this novel (which I loved!) and her place in the world. She grows from an unsure young girl into a much more confident young lady more sure of what she wants in life.

It was beautiful to be able to witness Bea’s growth and her acceptance of her feelings for Ben. I love the way Leslie writes – you feel as if you are a part of Bea’s life. You feel her every pain and joy. Most of her moments you can directly relate to your own.
