The writing style is as charming and easy to read as a Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott. I felt like I could relate to some of the characters and cared about what would happen to them. I loved the interactions between the characters and how their lives seemed to intertwine in interesting ways.
High marks for atmosphere, writing style, and character building. I have a feeling on a re-read I would give 5 stars.
