My Rating:    (3/5 Stars)

A clean YA novel that was fun to read. There's enough magic and high school drama to keep things entertaining to the very end.

It was an emotional journey reading this book. Coming from a loving home, it was hard to imagine what her life was like. I think what was so appealing to me was that throughout the whole story, even when Ayse was retelling the dark parts of her life, there was always a peaceful/happy undercurrent to her narrative. She is now telling the story as a Latter Day Saint, so amidst the dark parts of her story she would say something like,
 " because of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have come to forgive and be at peace with that part of my life."

It's a story of hardships and trials, but also one of forgiveness and love.

This is one of those stories that I wish would be made into a Hallmark movie. I will definitely be adding this one to my personal collection. I love reading a CLEAN wholesome love story! I loved the characters, I loved the humor, and I loved the plot. The only problem with reading a good book like this, is that it sets the standard pretty high for the next book you read :)
