Melissa (ladybug) | 243 comments Thank you Amy J. I gave it 3 stars. It was really good. I have to deal with mental illness with my mother and this was hard for me to read. :)

My pick for you is:

To be honest Lyndi it was only a 3 star book for me, interesting and intriguing in parts particularly elements of the 1927 storyline but the main thread of the plot was predictable and guessable from about chapter 3. But that is simply my opinion
