My Opinion 2 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This turned out to be a DNF for me.
There was just too much prose for me to handle, and to be honest i think originally it was the cover that drew me in first and i was a little hesitant about the description, hence why it has taken so long for me to get round to reading it.
BUT, that cover is very pretty.
