I honestly loved this book. I felt like it was just so charming. It was so easy to slip into this world that Ashley Poston created. Usually, when starting a new book, it does take me a moment to get into the world they are creating. It might take a chapter or two, and I'll be honest, usually, with Sci-Fi, it takes me a little longer. However, with this book, I was in it. From chapter one, I was drawn in and enjoying the journey Ashley was taking us on.

I find her writing style so charming and so approachable. It is just fun to read her books, or in my case, listen to it. It is really like listening to a friend tell you a story. It's relaxing, interesting, and hard to put down. I just wanted to know what happened next, and then next, and then next. It had been a while since I listened to a book that was so difficult to stop. I've been listening to podcasts, and I had been so enthralled with them that I found myself distracted by them, but this book got me back into listening to books again!

The characters were so likable and interesting. I needed to know about their struggles and how they overcame them. Each new problem came up, and I needed to know how they got through it. And the pacing was just perfect. I didn't find myself bored and wishing the story would hurry up. I felt like everything there was so important to the story as a whole, and I was glued the whole time... even annoyed when people interrupted me listening to talk to me.

I loved this retelling, and now I'm hooked on everything Ashley Poston.
