Gisby’s unique combination of fantasy and reality creates a story that everyone can identify with in some way or another.  She works a social commentary in behind this very imaginative tale that gives the reader something to think about, even if they don’t necessarily realise it’s there.  She brilliantly captures your imagination through vividly clear descriptions that allow your imagination to soar.  Gisby has also developed a very solid storyline that pulls her reader forward throughout.The contrast of characters in this novel was quite unique.  I enjoyed the fact that neither of the main characters were perfect.  Both were fighting who they were and trying to become more than what they thought they should be.  They were quite well developed as individuals trying to find their place within a world that society has dictated for them.  The supporting cast was also quite unique.  Although not an overly large cast, they definitely filled the bill perfectly.  A couple of them could have used a bit more development so that we could get to know them as people, but as a whole they fulfilled their roles within the story quite well.  The complete about-face in the viewpoints of a couple of the characters right at the end of the novel was a bit odd, but yet fit perfectly with the storyline as a whole.  It suited who they were and showed much growth on their part.Overall, this was a novel that kept me completely captivated throughout.  Gisby’s combination of fantasy and real world prejudices created a platform for her gripping tale of love’s triumph.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
