This was my second Sarah Addison Allen book, behind Garden Spells. I enjoyed it, but not as much as Garden Spells. I think I expected more magical realism than what was present. It was a quick read, fun, light, and good. It's more of a 4.5 stars for me because I just love her writing style so much and had it been the first book I read of hers, I probably would have given it 5 Stars.
I liked how there were cameos from main characters in her other books featured in this one.
Can't wait to read her other books!
Has anyone else read this or other S.A.A. books?

DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to Walls of Water, North Carolina, a place where secrets run thicker than the town's famous fog. Once upon a time, Willa Jackson's family owned the beautiful house on the top of the ridge. Now it symbolises her family's ruin and a legacy Willa longs to escape from. Paxton Osgood also yearns to break free, especially from her parents' expectations, and the heartbreak of unrequited love. Desperate for a distraction, she decides to restore the empty mansion to its former glory. But the discovery of a long-buried secret, a friendship that defies time, and a touch of magic, will transform both women's lives in ways they would never have expected.
