MY THOUGHTS

I’ve often wondered what it would be like to talk to authors from the past. The book brings that idea to life. It kept me guessing as to Jasmine’s state of mind…I wasn’t sure if she was dreaming, in an alternate reality, or being visited by ghosts. It didn’t matter though because the book was so engaging. Makes me want to own a bookstore :) If you are looking for a good beach read then you’ll want to consider this book.
