I thought at first I was going to be reading a story about a spoiled woman who doesn't see the value in what she has until it's too late (the end of the book). Thankfully, by about 100 pages in I realized that wasn't going to happen, relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the book.

I think Kerrigan has done a great job with this character.

What I found most interesting was that while I couldn't understand some of the things Ellie did (running away), I still liked the character; that does not usually happen for me. It speaks well to Kerrigan's skill as a writer. Can't wait for the third book!(Diane) bookchickdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640913682123489734noreply@blogger.com
