Reviews

[Happy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I took forever to read this book, not sure why because I really enjoyed it. Every very weeks when I picked it up to have a read, I loved the characters, storyline and history lesson.
Perhaps my reluctance to read it in one sitting is due to it being a bit heavy at times but it will definitely stay with me for a long time.
