I read this in one day and liked it a lot. The characters were interesting and I wasn't sure what was going to happen. That being said, it didn't feel entirely unique but it is a feel-good read. I liked the ending a lot - it will satisfy even the darkest heart! Give it a try!
She loved to read; it had always been her way of tuning out the world, of postponing troubles and escaping someplace else. As a child, her favorite days were trips to the library, when she'd stumble back into the car balancing a small mountain of books, reading on her bed until the afternoon light faded and her mother called her for dinner. She had loved Francie Nolan reading on the fire escape in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; Jo March weeping over fiction while perched in a tree in Little Women; the All-of-a-Kind Family sisters, in their matching dresses and pinafores, making their own ritual trips to the library. April didn't have sisters in real life-she had Ben, but he was another story entirely-but books had given them to her.
