I want to write a word. I don't know why I read this book to the end. In my opinion this book panders to those of us who want to believe in human connections and happy endings. Everything fits together neatly.
And I'm still a little unsure -- were the little stories true, somehow divined by the man who wrote them? Or were they in his style but the real truth that he didn't know? Because if he knew then why would he keep things like the friendship bracelet from the rapist/teacher?
My biggest complaint/concern/criticism is, of course, the mystical powers endowed on Sunshine.
Sincerely, Fran… (altro)

Oh, boy. This was lovely. There were parts that I worried might turn too dark, but trust me -- they are not. Just enough shadow to give definition and plausibility to this very magical story. If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen or Ellen Herrick, you'll almost certainly like this. Especially if you are an Anglophile, like I am.
It would be easy to pick this book apart, and some have. I decided to just give in and accept the unlikely set-up, and found the book quite charming!
