"Men of thoughtless actions are always surprised by consequences."A delightful and soft story about a small town and the myriad of characters who live there, with a touch of magic -- which is Allen's specialty. I needed an light story to read during a tumultuous time in my life and this one was perfect. Allen excels in creating realistic characters in situations that are brushed with magic in a way that the reader can almost believe that it's real too... Although not my favorite of her works, I still recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick getaway.
