Overall, I enjoyed Finding Willow. I didn't read the books that came before it because I was a first reads winner, and that's how I got is in the first place. I think the book could have used some more descriptive wording, but that's just me! :) I love great description I guess! ;) I found it captivating, but not like in a I-Can't-Put-It-Down kind of way. It was an easy read between bigger books I'm trying to tackle. In the end I would recommend it to some of my friends, but I probably won't read it again. ALTHOUGH I found that the hand-written note I received with the book was a special touch and I will be reading more of Jacci Turners books and following her facebook page!
I love reading about these girls. They're just such likeable people and their relationships with those around them grow and stretch with every book. I think they're good role models for young girls who need positive characters to identify with.
Introducing the third book in The Finding Home Series! I love this one, of course, I love them all. I think it's a good ending. But...there may be more down the road. Give the series a try! Jacci
