Decent enough book of shorts stories. Very O'Henry-esque type stories. Nice way to take a break and read. Nice way to spend an afternoon in the sun. ( )

Truly awful stories, review copy, read a couple couldn't even finish book. Refuse to give rating. Truly awful. Sad ( )

this book is a collection of short stories and novella. I notice that most of the stories deals with sadness or on the negative side, but honestly, some of these, would really make you appreciate life more and realize the littlest things that really matter. The stories range from relationships, medieval women, men vs. women, hardship, love, marriage, abuse, infidelity, betrayal, childhood memories and lessons to teens based on experiences.
because of the author's experiences as her basis, the story was more vivid and filled with vibrancy and right amount of page-goers.
Some of the story could be developed into more awesome ones.

I was hooked with some of the stories but it was the author's own story that piqued my attention. Sharing her story could really help those who are still struggling for addiction, and it was awesome that she had hoped for others to do the same by writing her own.

I also want to appreciate the cover, it was the first thing that got my attention.:) ( )

I am not sure what to make of this book. A Violet Fancy is a collection of stories - some only a page or two and one labeled a short novella. Towards the end, the author introduces one with the descriptions that what has come before is fiction, what comes next is her story. Issues addressed in the stories include teenage death, abusive relationships, substance abuse, and marriage. Some stories are touched on so briefly that they could so much more developed. Each story presents its own anguish and the heartache.

The path of the author's life as described has been an incredibly difficult one. I wish her luck and success on her journey.
