Now if you're thinking that this book sounds like taking your pleasures just a little bit too sadly, then forget it: it's a very uplifting read. Eva Woods has created a monster in Polly, but she's the sort you want to hug and hope that she gets a better result than the one that's not just on the cards, but up in lights from the very beginning. I loved Annie too: life hasn't treated her fairly, but then who do you complain to? When Polly appeared in her life she'd hit the bottom and for anyone who's been there the symptoms are plain to see. You can understand her reluctance to even make an effort to improve her life: at least when you're on the bottom you don't have to worry that things are going to get worse.
I thought the book would last me for about a week, but I surprised myself by reading straight through in a couple of days. Short chapters help - there's one for most of the hundred days and it's ''very'' easy to succumb to the temptation to read just one (or a dozen) more chapterchapters. It was a good, uplifting and compelling read. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
If this book appeals then we think you might also enjoy [[Jenny Sparrow Knows the Future by Melissa Pimentel]].
