ellemnope's review against another edition
4.0
* Disclaimer: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. *
This was SUCH a fun read! It's a bit of a cross between a mystery, chick lit, and magical realism--interesting and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this as a beach read or a travel read as it is easy to drop into and speed right through. The writing is comfortable and unpretentious while still having great wit, charm, and comedic relief. I will admit that I'm not a huge fan of one of the more major characters due to his attitude, but that is addressed as an issue within the narrative, so it works. There are a few morally gray characters who add to the spice and I enjoyed the playful attitude of the narrative. I am diving right into the sequel!
