This book was gut wrenching. The characters are so broken & sad. But they are also so beautiful.

I enjoy Wendy Webb, but this one fell flat for me. The characters were so lifeless.

This is a collection of 3 books. I really liked the first, the second was ok, the third was meh. The main character was sometimes very annoying. She really didn't develop much, which is fine; however, what felt justified in the beginning was just whining at the end.

It was a fun adventure. Loved all the background stories of the book. It made me want to travel the world & look for rare books. It wasn't at all what I expected. When I first finished, I hated the end, but it has grown on me.
