5.0

This short story had no right being so sweet. Out of the entire collection, this one is the one I wish could be a fully-fleshed out story. I want to see Evie dealing with her insecurities over a longer period of time. I want to see her interact with her family more and I want to experience her losing her grandmother with her. I want to see her and Theo fall in love together. 

While I do think the 4th story, Merriment and Mayhem, is my favorite out of all five, this story is the one I see the most potential for more in. This is the one I want to see as a novel.
