Be careful what you wish for
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
This is a book about a girl wishing to grow from an ugly duckling into an improved swan. But it is also a book about being true to yourself, or as the protagonist puts it "It's better to embrace it (her flaws) and make the most of the benefits it confers - the sensivitiy and empathy and kindness - rather than trying to shoehorn my personality into a whole other one that doesn't fit." And Liz Eeles brings this message across very beautifully.
I don't remember the heroine - Becca - from the first book (maybe she wasn't even in it?), but warmed to her immediately. She is just as nice as Callie, and I liked her just the way she was at the beginning of the book. At the same time I can understand her wish to be more like her glamorous twin sister, who is more succesful in her job, with men and even with their parents. Or so she thinks...
I liked visiting the Cosy Kettle once again, I liked the flow of the story, I liked the characters, I liked the ending (and the epilogue one year later).
