Reviews

[Roberta Wall · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was unexpectedly a wonderful book experience. She is much different than I thought she was. And surprisingly, her personality characteristics are so similar to mine that it’s spooky. Down to even the smallest things! It seems as if she is happy now and I think that’s wonderful. Her politics are mine exactly. She is so creative and intelligent. I hope she lives happily ever after.
