The Moonstone Girls by Brooke Skipstone
I have no idea how this book is so highly rated. The writing is abysmal. Won't rant more here. I've ranted enough in my review. 😬

Thanks Brenda, fixed now I hope.
I've been having a lot of issues with GR the last two days. The link problem is my fault but I'm having trouble posting reviews, adding ratings and posting comments. Takes forever and several tries to actually post a review. Lots of error messages both on my laptop and tablet so not sure what the problem is. Have tried restarting both but didn't help. Very frustrating!
