Incredibly bad YA. The concept- that vintage fashions could transport the wearer into another time- was good, and the drawings scattered through the book were lovely, but the actual time-travel was so badly done, and the dialogue so stilted that it ended up being a breath-takingly bad book. Sad.
This is a log of what books I've been reading and movies I've been watching. Comments are welcome!
One explanation seems necessary - the phrase "Life-Changing Fiction" is not in any way an endorsement of those books- in fact, I think those books are Awful, and want that to be clear. "Life-Changing Fiction", as a phrase, has been trademarked, absurdly, by the "Christian fiction" writer Karen Kingsbury, and that is Just Not Right. Aside from being ridiculous, it just sheds light on the hypocrisy of the writer. What would Jesus copyright?
