MY THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed this book, I felt like I was sitting right beside Maggie as I read each page. I felt a dislike for Maggie's mom, but then as I read on she began to grow on me. For some reason I didn't see Maggie as all that spoiled, but I think I was focusing more on how her mom treated her and wondered why. As for Charles, I thought he kept his infatuation for Maggie well hidden, I could tell he thought greatly of her and while he could get under Maggie's skin they seemed to balance each other throughout the story....he certainly could be a charmer!
This was a fun read, filled with adventure, hope and love...I think you'll enjoy it.
