This is a tough one to rate properly. The other reviews seem to be both right - this is very charmingly written and captures a young girl in a fun, whimsical way, but is also a bit cliche, and the characters leave a sour taste in your mouth, and the plot is a little contrived, etc. I really enjoyed reading it, but there are definitely parts of the book that made me groan and roll my eyes. Pleasant to read, but maybe not a lot of depth to it, and will leave a funny aftertaste in your mouth. I'd give it a 3.5/5, but rounded it up to 4 since it's overall a relatively pleasant read.
