DNF.

This book has won all sorts of awards this year, but I lost the flow of the book and just couldn't get it back.

Beautiful. A book that everyone could benefit from reading. 

With an every so tiny revel at the end that even I didn't guess.

This was a cute story, but a little too simple for me. I loved the other book I read by this author, but this one just didn't have the same magic.
