While this was a very light read, I did struggle with this book a bit. It just seemed too ... unrealistic. And yes, I adore unrealistic stories. Books are places where fairytale dreams and reality can collide with no need for logical explanation ... But this was just a bit too far fetched.
I'm also highly intrigued how this segues into the second book. Given the current ending ... it seems even more implausible.
