Reviews

A Bit Preachy


(3 stars)

Not only is the book preachy, but the author breaks the '4th wall' far too often, addressing the audience directly. But it's Pansy's first book, and as she continued writing, she improved. I had no problem with the narration.

very disappointed with accent of reader hard to understand
