This was a great read and very relatable! I loved all the characters especially Devah! I also think her and Ra are meant to be! I also love her bothers and her families relationship! It makes you jealous of their relationship if you didn't have one like that. Great great book!
I really enjoyed this book. It was a story that was realistic. It showed the closeness of family, and I saw myself in Deval, being an only girl around during many male relatives that have spoiled me. Waiting for part 2
The plot for this book is lit. There is drama and entertainment from all angles. You wont want to put it down! It started a bit slow but the build up was worth it! Waiting patiently for book 2 :)
Great book! The story was entertaining, funny and well written...waiting for part 2!! The characters were relatable and I love the fact that they were from the Carolinas! Great read...I would recommend.
