Definitely took me a while to adjust to the slow pace of it all, but I just couldn't get enough of Sean and Puck and Corr and Dove.

I won a copy of this book a few weeks ago, so I'll be reading it eventually, but I've made sure to note that I might find the beginning a little slow. I'll have to make sure to hold out!Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-83616572514809864442012-01-09T12:37:13.378-08:002012-01-09T12:37:13.378-08:00I also LOVED this book!

I'm sorry, I couldn't let it go!<br />Juju: "...a lot of folks"<br />Alyssa: "Your reviews..."<br /><br />I do agree though ~ for people who are just passing by, your reviews are a good length that their eyes won't just glaze over it all. Just very readable.
