This was one of the first books I read that had a plot twist and I was so hooked. This is a magical story and listening to it brings back wonderful feelings.

It was ok. The story idea was good and the characters were fleshed out, but it was mediocre. The plot was good, but I felt like it was predictable. I knew that Hatty was the old lady as soon as I knew about both of them. I live the cover art on the one I got!
