I love reading a book that makes you question. I found myself questioning and thinking thru many parts of this book. Jodi Picoult's writing has a way of capturing me thru most of her novels. LOVED THIS BOOK!!

I loved the ideas but wish there were more pictures of the albums that were created. There was so much talent but I left the page wanting to see more. Love Ali's style--love her inspirations.

A little disappointed with this one. And what is with Santa marrying the mail carrier at the end??

Love love love the illustrations on this one. We liked the idea of chapters to start a new adventure but felt something was missing.

My son laughed thru this one. He totally got it. James Stevenson is always so clever. Different from your average Christmas story.

I enjoyed her first novel very much and I also enjoyed this story line as well. It was good to see that the people involved in the storyline were looking out for other's future happiness rather than their own. I could respect the characters as a result.

I picked this up in the library. Wanted to enjoy a sappy Christmas love story. This was a quick light read and read in basically one sitting.

I can't imagine going thru this experience. I hope and pray that I never do. It was difficult for me but allowed me to see how grateful I am.

This was a quick weekend read. Family of misfits who manage to work together. Loved the 13 year old character (rae). She was a riot!
