Ellie and Mark’s relationship develops convincingly, with plenty of awkward starts and stops mixed in with moments of giddy revelation, often with a magical twist.The fantasy aspect, inspired by Maori mythology, is unique and fascinating, while Healey’s measured explication of its various aspects ensures that readers won’t be overwhelmed.She is acidly funny and yet a great friend to the people she cares about most she is winningly self-deprecating, but she also has a black belt in tae kwon do and isn’t afraid to use it. I opened my mouth, just as he added, And your eyes are opening. ![]() ![]() Karen Healey expertly combines elements of fantasy, humor, romance, and coming of age.
