This book is very slow for the first 150 pages or so. It is hard to keep reading in the very beginnig but once you pass the hump it is so good. You realize afterwards why it is so slow as this is the character, but by the end you will be up till wee hours of the night and not putting it down, and wanting the next book...

I really enjoyed this book. Bought it in the city and read it all the way home. Enjoyed Ali's thoughts and was inspired to go home and do some serious scrapbooking. This book got me out of a rut and brought me back to the importance of scrapbooking, to tell the story.
