In this world, there are these rare magical keys that can take you anywhere. As long as you have been to a place before, you can use that key to return in an instance. Tucked away in this world is a door to another land. One woman leaves her young daughter behind in search of the key that will open that door and help her break her family's curse. Now a young adult herself, Violet Everly is on a mission to find her mother and finish what she started. 

I like this writing style, it reminds me of Erin Morgenstern; descriptive and a bit whimsical. Because of that, I think the pacing felt slow at times. There were highs and lows -- sometimes I was really into it and other times I was losing interest. It felt a lot was going on but also nothing really happened. 
The romance was expected and yet I was disappointed when it happened. 
With all that being said, it was still a really enjoyable reading experience with some of my favorite themes (magical words and hidden doorways).
