Helpful Score: 2
This is a beautiful book that has everything from adventure to romance. A quick, easy, delightful read.
It was one of my favorite books I've read thus far. I stumbled upon it at my school library and had to have my own copy. I really identified with the main character, Elaine. It was well written, better than I was expecting. Its written in lines and stanzas, which is interesting. I highly recommend it :)
