Cute and funny. An easy read
Reading it now
Good summer read but characters are somewhat irritating

Quick read – lame and unrealistic storyline
Funny, funny, funny

This story keeps you in suspense and that’s what makes it interesting. I couldn’t stop reading once I started.
Cute relaxing read
It was okay, girly girl book.
Good thing it was free, because I couldn’t get through 25 pages of it. Poorly written.
Read a few pages and deleted. One star
Looking for the next episode!
It was a good book held interest entire read.
pathetic
Light, fun reads with quirky family and old friends. Dark, twisted people who would murder to make things fit their goals and ideas of “perfect.”.
I did not buy this book because I couldn’t connect to Amazon to purchase it
