4.75

Loved this book and I can absolutely see myself coming back to it! Marissa Meyer has not let me down. The story (a coming of age romance about "Sommerland," a Disneyland style theme park) hit all the right romantic notes. Definitely for fans of Instant Karma. Not really a true magic theme but of course there is a romantic, magical setting. I loved how Marissa poked at how Disney isn't very diverse with their princesses (and believe me, I enjoyed Encanto as much as the other person, but still, you want more diversity than just someone with glasses). Good story, well-thought out, and the artwork was GORGEOUS. 

My only complaint is the fact that the main guy, Jack, wasn't in it enough, but that was minor and he still was a part of it enough to be a love interest.
