I picked this book up cause the cover is adorable and the synopsis seemed cute, plus I was hoping for a quick read. It was light enough that it didn't drag on but it didn't feel like there was a lot of substance. The lost things' stories were neat, but Laura's story seemed very self-pitying. The romance was hinted at and then all of a sudden was established, like it was just a requirement to keep the story moving.
