*REVIEW* 💖💖💖
A note about this review-I knew immediately that the target audience for this story is most likely young tween/teen girls. I read with that in mind, as if evaluating.
This story is cute and simple, albeit, too simplistic. In my opinion, the narrative structure needs some bulk added because it felt thin and loose-just more of the how, why, what, etc. about how Holly survived and struggled, the choices her aunt makes, how she learns to function in society and in the classroom. Details are missing, sparse or thin. It seemed like I was reading an overview. I was waiting for the dive into the more serious stuff, but that didn't happen. Holly is a good character with a lot of potential to be a role model of sorts, but, again, I need to know more about who she was, who she is and where she is going now. Teen girls will enjoy the story I think, but they can handle much more complex ideas. Word choice, etc. should challenge their minds to stop and consider instead of just leading them through the story. Honestly, this is a delightful entertaining read that needs a touch here and there to make it all it should be.
