My most prevalent thought after reading My Fair Lady was that I wouldn't complain one bit if Karli, Leo, and Vance all re-examined their lifestyles and decided that some form of backwards polygamy, where it's the girl with all the husbands, was the best answer. I have officially been converted from team Leo to team Sandwich.I LOVED reading the retelling of Pixie Dust through Vance's POV. I felt the author did an incredible job not only giving us another point of view, but writing the story in a way that was fresh, even for those of us who have read Pixie Dust multiple times. There was just enough balance between the scenes we'd already witnessed through Pixie Dust and new ones, which made following the story, remembering details of the 1st installment, and finding the excitement of a new book all possible. The other thing I have to commend Laura Lee for, was the way she went about writing Vance's POV. We all knew the big sweetheart was already in there (I'm referring to Vance, though Laura Lee is a sweetheart, too. haha!), but she wrote him realistically. There were enough swooning moments with his thoughts about Karli, but he's still a man, and she didn't lose sight of that. In other words, he wasn't overly romanticized and didn't come across as only possible within the pages of a book... or Disney movie. He was believable, and his thoughts and reactions were true to the common man's nature, and I really appreciate that in any book. Kudos for well thought out, great writing!So in the end, I fell in love with Vance. I giggled when Leo made his appearances, because Leo has always been my #1, but now the only choice I'm left to make is how I want my sandwich, because I'm stuck in the middle here.
