Looks like you confirmed my expectations, Small :)<br /><br />I'd want more historical facts too. I love learning about history which is probably why I always did well in it. I often had crummy teachers though so it was never as fun learning from them as reading a fictional book and absorbing facts without even realizing it.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-13298734857886395842012-06-08T00:42:06.304-04:002012-06-08T00:42:06.304-04:00This does sound like a cute fluffy beach/pool read...This does sound like a cute fluffy beach/pool read!

I totally blew it off when it first came out because I pegged the cover as "contemporary issues" and I didn't actually read the blurb until much later. I keep forgetting about it though, so thank you for reminding me! You're right, it would be the perfect read for this summer. And with a love interest that's my type?

It seems very similar - mostly fluff, historical reenactment village setting, friends, boys, etc. If you're looking for a similar read for July or August, you might want to give it a try. I also think you might like the guy in Past Perfect a bit better; he seems more your type of love interest than the one in Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink.Picahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801407628694385946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-17910366257408158832012-06-07T01:05:59.891-04:002012-06-07T01:05:59.891-04:00Like Alex, I agree with what you said but this was...Like Alex, I agree with what you said but this was an awesome read for me (4.5/5!)
