Opinion: This book is so multi-layered! If I were to call it a
romance I would be right- and wrong. The same goes for
calling it a new twist on a classic story or a historical
fiction. I guess if I had to define this book as one thing,
it would be becoming more than what people say you
are or even what you should be. People treated Jade Moon
differently because of when she was born and she became
what they expected her to be.
This looks and sounds amazing, and I love to support new authors, I'm absolutely going to read this!
ReplyDeleteI first found this book at the library but then acquired it for my own usage. I have re-read it so many times.
