Thank you so so much for this book. I have been so. Wanting this book and be restrained from buying it. As I got so many to read. But to having it through the post as gift there is no guilt involved. Haha.
I will message back here when I have read it.

I so loved this book. I think personally it isn't the best book this author has written. But I still love how she transports you too a completely different world.
It is a such a moving page turner that once you into it, it is hard to put down. I have only just finished it and I will miss reading it.
I was quite shocked at the end as I didn't know her books where banned in China. I just wonder what Chinese people would think about them?
I know the stories aren't 100% truth too protect peoples identities etc. But they still move me with the love, struggle, and friendships that are held in her books.
I can't wait for the next installment of her books.
