I'm normally not a huge huge fan of historical romances, because they tend to be rather dry and - to be honest - riddled with content. But this story? Oh my word, I can't even. I LOVED IT TO PIECES!!! Clara was soooo relatable, Theodore was a dear, her mum was SUCH a hoot. The romance was precious, and the steampunk elements made my heart SO happy! ...more

you know how some books completely transport you? imerses you in a whole new world? where your heartbeat matches the characters beat for beat? that was this book.
and i'm all for it.
i always feel inadequate writing reviews for books i love so much. me, the writer, is 100% speechless. but i would have to come up with a whole new language to describe how beautiful this story is. breathtaking doesn't even scratch the surface. be prepared to have your heart break, your tears to flow, and your emotional support stash of chocolate dissapate.
Please don't ask me why, because I truly can't explain it, but . . . this one might be my favorite in the series so far. Please don't ask me why, because I truly can't explain it, but . . . this one might be my favorite in the series so far. ...more
This book was nothing like I expected, and everything I hoped for! I was intrigued from the first chapWoah.
Just...woah. I'm still in book hangover!!
This book was nothing like I expected, and everything I hoped for! I was intrigued from the first chapter, and it immediately sucked me and, and was like, "I want to own your heart." And I let it.
I finished this book in two days. (Two days, y'all!!!) I was a bit wary when I saw it was contemporary, but I was so glad I stuck it out. I loved the amazing detail that Kara puts into all her scenes. It is so beautiful, and magical. It makes you want to believe in magic!! *Dreamy face* I felt like I was right with the characters, inside their heads as I read. I could see every little detail. It honestly felt like Peter and Claire had both reached out a hand and pulled me into a Neverland all of their own.
It was an utterly beautiful novel! Be ready to have it steal your heart. And sprinkled throughout the novel, you'll find little nuggets of faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust.
Third time reading this, and it felt like huge hug wrapped around me, saying, "Welcome back, friend."
Fifth time around: I don't even know what to say. How can you describe something so . . . beautiful?...more
