I love Sarah Addison Allen's books. They just plain make me happy. I finish one and I can't stop smiling. This was no different.

I love the characters, the strong female friendships, the romance. There is something so compelling about her writing. It's simple, but lyrical. It's emotional, but it doesn't take itself too seriously.

It's difficult to put into words exactly how her books make me feel. I'm just left an ooey-gooey, gushy mess of happiness.
