I liked the theme of this book but I felt that all but the main character, Felicity, developed throughout the book. I think that there were to many questions unanswered at the end. I also think there was to much time of Felicity yearning and moping for Derek. It was cute at first but after a while it was boring. Also when the big revelation at the end of the book was disappointing. It was an okay book but I am not sure if it is worth a second glance. Probably better for younger readers – late elementary age.
