I accidentally picked up this book alongside another in a different section of a used bookstore, not realizing they were both written by the same person. Sage is amazing. Her writing is genuine, inspiring, honest, and straight forward. Her truth is something I both admire and respect. Structurally, this book has chapters made up of two or three pages - making breaking up topics, and putting it down in the middle of busyness possible. Looking forward to this writers future works, as she's incredibly bright and overall enjoyable to read.

Very to the point and helpful. A lot of the suggestions were small adjustments to what I already do, but they were helpful all the same.

One of the most enjoyable books I've read in a LONG time. The writing was amazing, the word usage and vocabulary were perfect (especially with the mixed-in French words). The characters were amazingly developed. I would have loved to know what happened to Yvette, but maybe that's for another story. This story had heart, adventure, love, wisdom, and everything else expected and hoped for in a good book. The plot never lulled, and was the perfect balance of pacing and sequence. I cannot say enough good things about this novel.

This book is incorrectly labeled in pages. It's an even 250. Also, I'm not sure what other individuals were meaning when they didn't understand Lizzie wasn't real. Or that it wasn't a solid book. I LOVED it. I think the characters were imaginative, the writing was beautiful, the descriptions had solid imagery, and the metaphors were flawless. I think the issue that some might be having is the age at which they read the book... I've found I related to this coming of age more as a 30-year-old adult than I would have at 13-15 years old. The human connection in this book is real, vibrant, beautiful, and thoroughly expressed. I also think some of the topics in this book are more adult-like which again, makes it easier for me to connect with. Either way. 10/10 enjoyed and would recommend.
