Synopsis of Notes from Ghost Town by Kate Ellison:

They say first love never dies…
When sixteen-year-old artist Olivia Tithe is visited by the ghost of her first love, Lucas Stern, it’s only through scattered images and notes left behind that she can unravel the mystery of his death.

Sunday is my favorite day of the week, and now Sunday is one of my new favorite characters.  Enchanted, by Alethea Kontis, follows the coming-of-age story of the youngest, seventh sister, Sunday.  The retelling and twisting of some of my favorite fairytales fill the pages of this quirky novel.  The use of so many intricately  thought out characters does cause some confusion. Once you become familiar with all of them, they give the story depth and motivate the main characters.
When I first picked up the novel I was drawn to …

Do not think painful means it was hard for me to get through. That is not the case at all. There are two reasons I say it was a lovely and painful read for me.
First, It was painful for me because …
