This book is an easy read; once you get started you won’t want to put it down. It is filled with laughter and love. You feel as if you are one of Novalee’s friends and like you’re in the story with her. You feel her pain when she suffers a loss and you feel her happiness when she realizes she’s in love. In the story Novalee has to learn and grow with new friends and creates a family of her own even though it’s not the family she was born into its still her family. This book is a book that anyone can read and I suggest that they do read it.
