I like to read series and this was really good.

To say that I enjoy and find Eloisa James's novels wonderful reads does NOT even touch the surface of the complete bliss I have when reading her books. Her plots, characters, and prose are so genuinely beautiful. This is my second time reading this novel, and I have reread some of her other series as well. I have always felt that Shakespeare was a romantic and a little like Alfred Hitchcock. And so Eloisa Eloisahas these wonderful qualities that just make you want to keep reading through the night--even if you know what the ending will be, because there is that desire to hear her words speak to you until you have read that very last word.

A heartwarming story with characters who jump from the pages and pull you into their world (till the dryer buzzer sounds anyway). I love that this heroine has sisters who are also friends to back her up and fight with her as well. A real family. I actually cried at the sad parts. I have to say that I have read LONG reviews of this series and originally passed it up for other of James' books. One reviewer complained about the faults of all the sisters, especially Imogen, but I find them all believable and totally human. I have every faith that they will all come right in the end and Immie will grow up and get the stick out of you-know-what .....so on to Kiss Me, Annabel.

Great read!
