My Review:
This was cute a cute, sweet book! It wasn’t all sweet though! There were some conflicts throughout the book that had my heart aching. Other times, I would find myself literally laughing out loud at the scenes that I was reading or swooning over the handsome characters that charmed me through the pages of this book. I felt every emotion as I read this book, and I believe that makes a book truly well written. This was my first book to read by Julie Lessman although many have been on my wish list for a while. I received another one of her books for Christmas, and I definitely won’t be waiting much longer to read it after this! Julie can write so well!
I loved all of the characters in this book, and that we really got to know so many of the different characters. All of their lives were lives were twined together in the most interesting ways. I loved getting to learn about it, and getting to really know each of the characters. I liked a lot of the other stories that went on throughout the book besides the romance between the two main characters.
This book was very enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it. I loved reading it, and just when you think you have it figured out- there’s a twist in the story!! So fun!
