Reviews

[Sue Emanuel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although this book had some beautiful prose and some really sweet family moments, I found it to be disjointed and there really wasn't any plot at all. I kept waiting for SOMETHING, actually ANYTHING to happen. It never did. It also drove me slightly insane that there were no chapters.
