Despite looking and sounding dated, there were so many themes within Evie which were relevant today; family secrets, unsuitable marriages, siblings arguing. Evie was an easy, enjoyable read.

[Elaine Watson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was one of those sweet stories that has just about everything thrown in. A little bit of a mystery, a touch of nastiness, a touch of doubt and a lot of love. This is one of those feel good chick lit books that will keep you out of bed until it's finished.

I love this book :)
It was one of my favourites when I was younger and i re-read it every year, if not more. Despite a lot of tragic happenings, the book is mainly happy and is incredibly sweet!! The main characters weren't even too annoying, unlike most books.
