What a wonderfully charming, LOL-funny epistolary romance and coming of age story. I can't recommend it highly enough to readers of any age. And it's a quick read, too. 🙂
Thank you, Laura, for sharing it here with us!
I forgot to comment on the cover you found: It's great!!!
Thanks Sylvia! And thank *you* for suggesting this book for publication. The cover is an original piece by Janice Tarver made specifically for this book. We've been using a lot of her paintings lately on our ebook covers.
This was one of my favorite childhood books, it was great rereading it and this time in its original language, since English isn't my native tongue. Thank you very much for making this possible.
Thank you for sharing this eBook!
I love this story.
Eventhough it's predictable but it's sweet.
Thank you! :X
