No usual lengthy review for this one. It’s been out for 15 years and the top reviews (both positive and negative) have nailed it. There is nothing more for me to add, except perhaps that if ever there was a character that needed Cher from Moonstruck to come tell her to “snap out of it”, my goodness it was Margaret. Gurl, it's your reflection, not a ghost. Give it a rest...

I gave it 2⭐️ but I wasn’t writing reviews and it was so long ago that I couldn’t tell you why! 😂 Glad you enjoyed!

Haha, I love the last 2 sentences. 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!
I haven't got to this one yet....I know oh my. Glad it was a good one :)
I enjoy this author! Glad this was a four star Jen.
Great review, Jen!
Fun review Jen! I haven't read it so you have me intrigued!
Haha! Love your last line! Great review, Jen! 💖
I’m so glad you enjoyed this one too, Jen! I loved this when I read it, but I’m fuzzy on the details so might reread it in the future.
Fantastic review, Jen! I think this is probably my all time favorite book! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm really happy to see that you enjoyed this one, Jen! I've had it on my tbr ever since I read Once Upon a River and loved it. You're reminding me to get to this sooner rather than later! :)
Glad it turned out to be a good one for you. 😀 I read this >10 years ago and still, fondly, remember parts of it. Reread time? Succinct review, Jen!
LOL about your review--I remember really liking this book but I looked back and my review is one whole sentence that doesn't really say anything. Oh well.
I read this so many years ago I no longer remember what I liked/didn’t like and my rating is a mystery to me. Ha! I enjoyed your short & sweet review 😊

Seems to be a bit of a theme! I think when it's been so long and with us all reading so much, it's easy for things to fade. I've realized as I've started writing more and more reviews not just how useful they can be for others (as their reviews are for me), but also helpful when I need a little reminder of what I've read.

I plan to re-read it at some point I think, because as I'm sure you're aware, it's one of those books that will read completely differently the second time around.
The constant battle of catching up on newly discovered older books or reading the latest hits. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Haha, cute mini review, Jen! I started this one today. ;)
