The...cover. Holy moses. LMAO
This is obviously one of Hart's early stories, and it definitely shows. It's far too short to have any real impact, and is written in a rather over the top, and flowery way (her 'magic bean'? Honestly? Is that supposed to do anything other than make me giggle?!).
Not the best introduction to this author's work, but I'm willing to give one of her full length novels a shot.
