Ms. Thomas makes the reader more aware of the cruelty people have against things that they don’t understand or aren’t willing to and as a reader you stop to think
about how it might affect you...by the time I was done, only several hours after starting it, I was a solid Jodi Thomas fan. I can’t wait to read her other books! This is a
fantastic book, sure to entertain even the most skeptical readers. Don’t miss this fabulous read, but don’t start it at bedtime – you’ll be up all night finishing it! 5 Stars.
