The Light Between Worlds by Laura E. Weymouth
2.5

Cute story that deals with heavy handed topics. After being transported to a magical world, this book deals with the aftermath, the going back to real life and dealing with everything you have lived as if it had never happened. 

I liked Evelyn's point of view, but I feel like after that everything went downhill. I get why it was important to have Philippa's as an older sister and the regret and pain you feel for your sister, but other than that the plot itself didn't feel like it advanced that much, and the ending didn't feel like an ending if that makes sense. There are books with open endings that just feel like an ending to a story, and this wasn't it. 

I would have given this book 3 stars had it not been for the romance in the second part... It felt extremely forced and inserted just because it needed to be inserted, without any real substance. What I did enjoy was the art element and it is something that is always welcome.
