Customer Reviews

A nice read with a gorgeous cover!

"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read." —Charles Dickens, Great Expectations I loved the feel of this story. Gertie was a interesting woman, and I appreciated her love of reading. She felt like a Belle from the 40's, and I liked her character immediately with her zeal for life. Gertie and Harry's love story was so sweet, and reminded of Carl and Ellie in Disney's "Up". So heartwarming and full of innocence. The cover and title was what drew me to this story though, and quickly caught my eye in the huge stash of lovely books available to review. While this was a slower paced book than most that I typically read, it was a nice change and a book I quite enjoyed. Thank you to William Morrow Publishing for the complimentary e-book I received to review through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts written here are solely my own. For those who want a content review, read below. :) Negative Content Gertie and a friend have a glass of wine together. Gertie mentions Charles Darwin's misleading book on evolution, "The Origin of Species" and a customer comments that he was a great man. While he may have been smart in some aspects, I don't agree that he was great in regards to his book and his spiritually detrimental theories on creation and evolution.
