Lovely, Jo looks good.

Jo looks lovely and I am needing to read this book as well.

It's very different yet you can definitely see her writing style come through the pages. It was a little tough at first keeping track of who was married to whom and who worked for whom, etc. Then I put it into context with my small town and it all clicked. Didn't expect the ending. I think I know many people in the book- they live in my town too! Definitely has that small town feeling she was going for- I grew up in one.

Book sucked, it was NOTHING like Harry Potter. I am a fan of Rowling, but this is unworthy of her.
