Reviews

[Stashia Barnaba · Rating 5 out of 5]

The four introductory "diary" chapters begin the novel with a openhearted and individual air giving you the opportunity to get to know the main character's personalities/lifestyles. Between Abby, Gracie, Marie and Kat, the reader encounters different levels of crisis but what they all have in common is a inner strength and strong (maybe naive) sense of love that encourages them to rise above any and everything that comes their way.
