I want to thank Net Galley for the chance to review all these book I have received lately. Only a few haven't been very good and for the most part I have enjoyed the books I have received.
This book surprised me and I ended up enjoying it. I was afraid at the start that I wasn't going to like it but ended up enjoying it enough to give it 4 stars.
This book is about a high school drop out who is learning herself. She only dropped out of school to go to Broadway because of the encouragement of her drama teacher who gave her high hopes.
She didn't do well and ends up being a Nanny to a little and living in Montana. She starts introducing herself to make friends but always adds that she is a big deal which of course turns people off.
One day she and her charge go to a bookstore and she gets a book and some reading glasses because all of sudden she can't see the words on the page clearly.
They go to a park and her charge goes and plays with the other children and she sits down to read and has to put on the glasses. She finds herself inside the story and at first she doesn't understand what is happening. She recognizes the people but they have different names and different lives.
She is able to pull out of the story with hardly any time missing. She is excited and intrigued about what happens.
Later at home she try's to read the story again to go back into the book and she can't. She doesn't understand why she can't.
She goes back to the bookstore and gets another book and goes back to the park and she is able to enter into the new story. She thinks it is either the tea that a friend is giving her or the park bench she is sitting on. She is gone longer this time and it worries her charge.
She finally figures out what is causing her to go into the story line and then she learns that she can't leave and has to figure how to get back to the real world. In the process of this she learns a lot about herself and what she truly wants.
It is a little slow at the beginning but really does get better especially when she enters into the books.
I would recommend that you give this book a try.
