Reviews

Reminds me of Loving Annabelle. Once you get pass the teacher and student interaction, it is an intriguing story of endearing love over time. Though some of the obstacles and circumstances appear unbelievable, I reflect on the time period and think, that is possible. I enjoyed the poetry because it creates a sweet bond among Diana, Victoria and Samantha. "The course of true love never did run smooth".

Pretty good book. it does suffer from some errors (quite a few, actually). But is still a good read.

[Kathryn]

This is a long and very tedious read with abundant misspellings. I would not recommend this book.

Liked the book. Book needed some major editing. Seemed to get worse the closer to the end I got.
