Not exactly what I was expecting. Sweet, but strange. I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief which affected my enjoyment, although I did enjoy it overall, just not as much as I might have if I'd been able to buy into the story more. Not sure whether I would read any more by Sarah Addison Allen.

To me, reading a Sarah Addison Allen novel is like warming myself up in a comfy throw in front of a fireplace in my favorite chair. With a latte in one hand and a cat on my lap, I am in heaven! If I could give her novels 6 stars, I would!

The Girl Who Chased the Moon is another charming, quick read by Sarah Addison Allen. I would give this 3.5 stars if I could, but rated both Garden Spells and The Sugar Queen 4 stars, and Allen's third book is just not as good as her first two. Garden Spells is still my favorite!

Why did she vow never to return?

This book was sweet, but not terribly deep. The supernatural/not supernatural part of it was weird. I had to kinda look over that, but it wasn't too difficult. Now I want to bake cake, though. That's not a good side-effect. Oh and I listened to the audio version, it was well done.

I thought it was a sweet light read. A nice change of pace. I don't really like fantasy so some of it was quite odd to me. I did really love the Grandfather though!

Not as good as her pevious 2 but still entertaining...very much like Alice Hoffman only lighter.
Liked this book and I love this author but it wasn't one of my favorites.
