My Review
What a beautifully, refreshing story told very well! I really enjoyed it!
I also liked the way the author developped her
characters and as a woman, of course I supported
Lissa the most.
I can't find anything I disliked in this novel
perhaps highlighting her father's age, but that's a part of the story.
I recommend this book to all people who love
reading some wonderful coming to age
novels. Perhaps teenagers or young adults are a
wonderful public for this book.
I enjoyed this book from start to finish, that's
why I want to give a
5* rating for this easy reading and a really nice
novel.
