(omg, I had read a book before you. this might be a first :P) but I would be willing to give her, as an author, another try if I heard good things.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941692221210580842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-63173856017754830052012-12-04T09:17:24.486-05:002012-12-04T09:17:24.486-05:00Anna Godbersen's books are definitely comparab...Anna Godbersen's books are definitely comparable I would say, only this is set in like 1946.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-1137151012631661502012-12-04T09:16:57.357-05:002012-12-04T09:16:57.357-05:00Ha, you might like it!

Though I must admit that, after duking it out with Anna Godbersen, I may have come to a new appreciation for dramatic historical fiction.Renae @ Respiring Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269581772628307546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-23538446400725980502012-12-03T10:33:15.651-05:002012-12-03T10:33:15.651-05:00Sorry it didn't totally wow you, although it s...Sorry it didn't totally wow you, although it sounds really interesting despite the predictability.

This is another historical, so it's not really one for me but I always love to see what you think! It does sound like it could have had a good fluffy plot had the characters been better and the romance not so creepy.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.com
