Book Bag Rating: Read it!
I loved this story and the quirky characters in it. If I really think about the premise it's ridiculous but, if I just think about the characters it's a simple love story. Emily is sent to live with her grandfather whom she has never met after her mother's death. When she arrives in the small town of Mullaby, NC she finds out that her mother led a different life in this town and rather than living up to the altruistic mother Emily knew her to be she found out she had to live down the girl who grew up in Mullaby. It is also the story of Julia who grew up in Mullaby and knew Emily's mother. Julia also left town but when her father died she came back to tie up loose ends and she makes it clear she is only there temporarily. Both Emily and Julia are trying to find out where they fit in and where they belong. They are both searching for love and acceptance and despite not wanting to they both find exactly what they need in this small quirky town.
This is a fast easy read. I like the hint of supernatural that the author sprinkles into each of her books. It's there and on it's face crazy, but somehow Ms. Allen is able to weave a believable crazy story.
