Old review: I adored this book, and I wanted it to be longer so badly - I was sad when I was finished! I could feel Greece on my skin, like I can in the fabulous Greece scenes in Mary Stewart's novels. Some parts of the characters were a bit one-dimensional, but I felt like they all got fleshed out well by the end, and the main character always felt real and flawed and human. Highly, highly recommended - Laura Caldwell is one of my favorite authors.
Updated: I still enjoyed it but more from a “nostalgic books I loved” place than a “favorite novels of all time” place. Moving to 4 stars because it did really speak to me all those years ago and it was a fun book to re-read. Definitely some spoiled princess vibes from all 3 girls (they’re really not women yet) and it all ties up a bit simplistically - but for Red Dress Ink (I miss them!!) it’s just perfect.

It was as good as I suspected. I have read several of Caldwell's books and have never been disappointed. She builds good characters and doesn't do so much that it seems like the end is so face paced because the author is coming up to 300 pages. It took me less than 2 days to read it!
