This was a well written novella.  Strassel’s approachable writing style and storyline present a vivid world that you can easily lose yourself in.  She uses words to create a picture that you find yourself unable to forget.  Everything combines together to create an emotional coming of age story that is extremely real.The contrast between the characters in this novel is striking.  Each character has their own personality and take on life.  The way that they interact with each other provides a great deal of forward motion to the story.  Strassel this prequel to develop a history, not only between two characters, but for the characters individually.  Their unique beginnings in life serve to set them apart from the crowd.This is a brilliant introduction to the author and her characters.  It is cute yet revealing read that leaves me wondering if there will be more for these remarkable characters somewhere in the future (oh, wait.  This is a prequel.  Yippee!!!!  Off to the first instalment now!).Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
