It really did seem like a Small book when I first read the blurb, like it would be perfect for you. But it does seem like it might be a bit on the MG side (not always a bad thing, but in this case, I get the impression the story and characters could have used some more complexity). Also: "I just can't fully get on board with a character who hardens her heart to the charms of adorable animals" <-- YES, THIS. I feel the exact same.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-83581131230591459102013-04-26T12:54:39.761-04:002013-04-26T12:54:39.761-04:00These are the hardest reviews to write...when some...These are the hardest reviews to write...when something is good but not what one expected. And I so agree with you about not being able to LOVE a characeter that doesn't LOVE animals! So much harder to connect!
