To say this book tugged at my heartstrings is an understatement. I love Shaffer's writing style so much. It pulls you in and keeps you there. You care deeply about the main characters. It's all very raw and emotional- with an undercurrent of something purely magical.
The book is mysterious, so I don't want to give anything away about the plot progression, but it's extremely well done. It's the perfect length, too. I can't wait to read more from her. If you're into magical realism, I highly recommend her.
