This book is about a girl, living in Brooklyn. The whole story starts out normaly, like an ordinary read (but you can still see how the writing is soo good), anyways as you go deeper into the book, you find out that the main character is a magical elf from another country where magic was passed through generations, you also get to know her family very well as the writer explores the personality of the main character. This book is not only a fun and really exciting read (don't let the cover fool...more
This book is based on an elf in the middle of Brooklyn, a tall, blond, gorgeous elf in the middle of one of the most prestigious performing arts high schools in the country. And yet, that’s just where Zephyr Addler finds herself: smack dab in the middle of a bustling New York City school, worlds away from the secluded woodland community she knows so well.

I thought this book was AMAZING. There were so many twists that i didn't want to stop reading.
I really wonder why Zephyr doesn't want to tell her friends about being an elf, it's that big of a thing.
even though im not a person who reads fantasy im really enjoying this book

So I got a lot into the review of the first book, entitled Me, My Elf, & I. It was a great glimpse into a world within our own, where ignorance truly is bliss, until it isn't there anymore. Factor that in with hormones, high school, bad guys with magic, and you have a wonderful start to a series. Can't wait to see what happens next!
