A vivid, poignant and hopeful story.If It Ain't Love is a gentle, heartwarming story set during the skillfully painted scene of America during the Great Depression. Tamara Allen manages to capture the desperation and darkness of that era with such subtle yet evocative prose until even I couldn't hel...
3.5 stars because Goodreads has a Stupid Rating System.This was a good little love story, set in the early days of the Depression. I loved the two main characters, Whit and Peter. Up until we actually find out about Peter's 'situation', I was totally on the wrong track about who he was. :) The w...
