My Review: I bought this book at the Dollar Tree while on vacation. I wanted something fun, light, and entertaining to read. This was the perfect fit for what I wanted. The book started well, then got a little slow, then was a page turner to the end. It was nice that it was written in this way, because it allowed me to enjoy my book, put it down when I needed to, and not obsess over the characters and their lives. It was really nice not to live in a book while reading it, but to just read and enjoy it. I highly suggest this book to whomever loves to read.
Pros: excellent, enjoyable, lovely
Cons: none
My Rating: Thumbs Up
