I loved this read. The main character was sweet and innocent but daring in all the right ways. The realistic and human ways that you think one would have experienced, not just a character in a book. I felt like the ending was not as I was expecting and at first I felt it was rushed. Once I got to the last page, I could tell that the ending was meant for me to decide which I normally don’t enjoy but found charm in. If you’re looking for a read to bust out in a day, cozied up to a fire, go for this one.

Unfortunately, I enjoyed the movie so much more than the novel.
