Charming, but definitely just felt like an introduction with an abrupt ending. Feels like it should likely have been combined with book two, but this also how an actual diary would be, so maybe it’ll work well for the series. Just started book two, s ...more

4.75 I really enjoyed this! I was charmed by Mabel’s character and enjoyed both timeline’s stories. The author does a great job of building empathy for Mabel. The last page was (in my opinion) silly and unnecessary, but otherwise, a wonderful book.
