MY REVIEW- 5 STARS, They fell in love quickly in a charming village
Maisie , I fell in love with her almost instantly. West and her together were a hoot. And her best friend Sophie and Lachlan was her best friend's fiancee. The wish that Maisie made at the wishing stones caused so many problems. Not exactly she was hoping for. Maisie was so competitive and likes to be in charge ALL the time. Too bad West isn't going to get her way ALL the time. He does meet her half way, at times giving in but he's also masterful with her. Telling her, I'm in charge this time. There will be touching in this story. And suggestive words of love and actions from West.
WEST- what a hot professor, he was also a calm, confident appearing man from California with glasses. His best friend Matthew was a charming, funny man who has known and has had West's back for years. West had been hurt so many times before but when he spotted Maisie , things began to change for him. She was sassy, sarcastic with him and he loved their debating or bickering which was a better word for it. I loved that the story included a smart man, who was also awkward at times and wore glasses, He wasn't afraid of her competitive nature, they thrived on it. One of my favorite thoughts by Maisie was "He looked at her like a gift to be unwrapped." She thought her gifts were non- existant but West saw her. And the hysterically funny sweatshirts that they scary older woman of the village kept giving him. The name they were called was, the book bitches. The latest one, is shown on the cover. "Chillin Snowmies" Hilarious !! West had a surprising affinity with animals, like tiny, aggressive Sir Buster. It surprised West, Maisie and all the others ! And it made for some funny times also with the ghost Coo, Clyde.
Great humor and the voices of the narrators were over the top phenomenal. They were a great choice. They made it so easy to visualize things and people as they were described. They pulled me into this great story. Even when it came to the sound effects that were so good. I liked the Coo. And I loved the cover. There was a wonderful finish to Maisie and West's story !
