This book was a titillating read! It didnt take long as all for me to be pulled into the story's premise. Olive and the world of Elsewhere fascinating my creative curiosity. I imagine going to museums is going to feel quite different for me moving forward thinking, "what if..."

I'm hoping to continue on with this series and certainly reccomend it for others to read! It was a pleasantly quick read that didn't leave you feeling amiss from plot holes or characteristic oddities. In fact, thinking about the world through the eyes of Olive makes everything seem more curious. I can't wait to see what other adventure Jacqueline West "conjures" up.
