The first thing I noticed was that the front cover was beautiful. Beautiful colours and artwork, very summery and matches the tone of the extract. If I were to see this on a shelf I would be intrigued to pick it up. The extract itself is well written and an interesting start to the story. It starts with the passing of her father which I thought was beautifully written. And throughout the author has used some beautiful descriptions. I'd be interested to read more. The perfect book for a summertime read.
