Reviews

[Jillian · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book made me laugh at times and was very well written. It didn't have the drawing power that pulls the reader in and makes them see everything around them. It was very close to it though so it is possible that it was my lack of time to devote to it.

I think I might pick it up again in the future and give it another go when I have more time.
