This book has the BEST opening line…“Some stories begin at the beginning and other begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.” Alice Hoffman is one of my favorite authors, and I let this book sit on my shelf unread for far too long. It is a fantastic story about magic, and love, and family. I am going to have to read the rest of this series now.

So many great quotes in this story, but here is one of my favorites :)

“Who one dared to love was complicated, but who to trust was even more confounding.”
