"A fast-paced read with charming characters. It left me with a "feel good" type of feeling. It even includes a nice interview with Marla. It's a very nice touch and gives the reader even more insight into the character. I loved this book. It has an adorable cat in it, what could be better?" 5 stars! Socrates Book Reviews
