Summary: Disappointed
Review: I trudged through this book until the end because I kept waiting for it to become the kind of story I expected from reading the back of the book... it didn't happen. I was really disappointed because I felt as though the author kept making assumptions as to how I was supposed to feel about each character. I had no feeling for the main character other than contempt because she came off as a selfish woman who had made a bad choice in deciding to marry. I felt only pity for the husband and all in all was unable to see any real motivation behind any of the characters. This is one of few books I regret taking the time to read, especially when there are so many other amazing novels out there waiting to be read.

Summary: Eh....
Review: In this novel, Layla, the main charecter, is a bored housewife who is able to wish herself away to magical places. The setup is charming enough, but the book is unable to live up to its premise. The charecters seem to be merley prototypes of fairy tale charecters, and it is difficult to sympathize with them. This book seems to be a fairy tale, but the magic seen in The Little Prince and other tales is absent. The author tries too hard to fit it in this genre.
