#FirstLine ~ It's not often you open a brand-new book to be told that it's dangerous.

I loved this book so deeply. I loved the setting, as I am from the USA and when books are set in a small town in the UK my heart instantly melts. This book is so very character driven and you will fall in love with all of them, even the evil ones will make you smile. This book is about so many important themes. You will see the value of friendship, standing up for what is right even when it is hard, embracing obstacles and the importance of green spaces. I adored Sorrel so much. She was just a deeply driven young girl, with big dreams that were turned on there axis. She also bloomed in this book from the start to finish and to watch it happen was a sheer delight. I want to devour all the books Skinner has written because this book turned me into a super fan of hers! I HIGHLY recommend this book by a truly gifted storyteller.… (altro)
