A lot of the reviews on Goodreads are actually negative. But maybe that's normal for the reviews that get posted there.I know that most reviews of this book are very positive.
I've always wanted to read it, but never have.I loved "The Secret Garden" as a child, but can't remember too much about it now.
I liked that their romance was not a main focus of the book, but that they found each other, and presumably had the fairy tale happy ending.And a romance for Cassandra, kind of fairy tale ending that way.
This was a good book, and one you should consider reading in the future.Just as well I skipped this month! I'd actually (normally) have time to read it now, but my concentration is SHOT! I think that July I should be picking things up again!
Just put it on hold. There's 4 others by her, as well. If they're all that long, I'll have to pace myself.If you enjoyed this book then you will most probably enjoy her first book, The House at Riverton. Again it's a monster read 500+ pages and covers different times but well worth reading.
That happens a lot with authors, in that their first releases are their best ones. What did you think of The Lake House? I have had that on my wish list for a while, so someone must have recommended it, at one time or another.The first 2 are her best, the third not bad, forth ok but fifth I didn't even finish it was so bad.
I've only read the main books, back in 2017, so I've been impatiently waiting for book 9 too, which per her website finally has a release date - Nov 23, 2021. So less than 6 months to go.Also, any and all of the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon. ALL over 700 pages, ALL excellent. There are eight main works, several novellas, a graphic novel or two, a cookbook (!?!?!), and two companions. Final major work to be released very soon. I shall go into mourning.
