Reviewed by Caroll-AnnHonestly I went into this book with no expectations, didn‘t even know what it‘s about before starting it. But I‘m pleasantly surprised with this one. I loved the story, even though it‘s a quite short one BUT that makes it the perfect quick read. It isn‘t the best book I ever read but I like it nonetheless.
