This fictionalized version of a young woman becoming friends with CS Lewis is gentle, comforting, and a little bit heartbreaking.

I loved this book. It is a book of family, love, friendship and heartache. Megs meets Mr Lewis after her sick brother asks her to go ask him if Narnia was real. What she gets is wonderful stories to share with her brother and answers to questions as well as finding her imagination. It is a wonderful  book

Absolutely loved this book, and I believe listening to it enhanced it since the narrator had an accent which made me feel more immersed in the setting. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my lifetime favorite books which probably didn't hurt either.

Wasn’t anything expressly wrong with it, it just wasn’t my thing. I kind of DNF’d it, skipped a few chapters towards the end.
