I really enjoyed Pheby’s story, but I felt like this book was just a check-list of plot points that could have been fleshed out more.

Love, love, loved reading this. It was touching, sad, and emotional in all the right ways. I was so invested in the characters and was constantly holding my breath to see what would happen at every turn.
