Reviews

[Emily]

After reading about what life for Juliet became when she moved to a manor with marguerite I got bored. The story felt incomplete and like parts were missing when it actually got going. I felt like it was abbreviated and needed to be longer with more detail. I liked the informative afterword the best.
