I enjoyed this one! I liked the premise and it had me thinking throughout. I def want more. 

While it was intriguing, it was also frustrating - 1. Holland trusting everyone she meets, 2. Are we ever going to understand January’s character??? Is this supposed to have a sequel book? How does her backpack have everything she needed? Is it the backpack from Dora?!?!? 3. Everyone’s hot and will find ways to kiss Holland. 4. What about Gabe’s wife plot line and other small details lol

What a fun, magical, twisty story. This is outside of what I usually read and I really enjoyed it. The entire story played out like a movie in my head. A great early autumn read.
