Book Review of Once Upon a River

Once Upon a River
getinmybellykelly avatar reviewed on


I really really liked this book. It's one of those books where you're not thinking about how good the writing is or how good the story is or how believable it is, you're just sucked in. I could understand Margo and why she was most comfortable living the way that she chose to. In many ways it's a coming of age story -- a girl growing up and getting to know herself in surroundings that are familiar to her, learning how to live her life as an independent woman. She's a sort of introvert heroine in her own right. Beautiful story. Definitely one that sticks with you, leaves you wanting a sequel.
