“No,” Marisol said with a slow head shake. The book really revolves around a Peter Pan book, which I have also not read, but having seen enough Tinker Bell and Neverland things on Disney, I didn't have that much of a problem with that as well.Ī thing I didn't like: when you have two childhood best friends, who are like the bestest of friends, they don't talk like this: Marisol looked me over. You get an insight into post-concussive disorder in this book, and though I have read a bit about it, and seen it in Elementary(CBC), this gave me even more knowledge about it.Īnother thing I loved, was that though this book too had literary references like By The Book, most of them were from Pride and Prejudice, which, having read a lot of retellings of, I mostly got. That's not to say I didn't love the romance as well! I really liked Asher, and I really liked Darcy (Yes, I know, more on that later) with him. No, not the romance, though that was pretty good too, but the friendship with Marisol and her mother was just amazing! There actually wasn't an angsty romance part of this, it was more an angsty mother-daughter-relationship part, and an angsty best-friend relationship part, and there was a tiny angsty romance part. The best thing about this was the relationships. I was going to give this 4 stars, but considering what I felt after By The Book, this was definitely 5 stars. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she'll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth-even if it's messy". Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up. Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide inside her carefully constructed ink-and-paper bomb shelter. For the first time in her life, Darcy can't seem to find the right words. While Darcy is struggling to survive beneath the weight of her mother's compulsive shopping, Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works.and straight into her heart.
But when a new property manager becomes more active in the upkeep of their apartment complex, the only home Darcy has ever known outside of her books suddenly hangs in the balance.
There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother's hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary. "From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books.
