In general, I found it to be rather boring and dull. I enjoyed Michelle Gallen’s debut novel, Big Girl, Small Town, immensely, but last fall when her second book, Factory Girls, came to America, I. I prefer books with a little more action the story moved a little bit slow for my liking. Some students thought the book moved too slowly. One thing that I thought was funny about Winnie was that when she had only just met Jesse, she asked if he was married, which shows Winnie had fallen in love with Jesse the moment she saw him. (Gotta kind of agree with her there!) Oh, and my daughter Danielle spotted instalove (an all-too familiar trope we adults love to hate).

The magic of the spring and the reality of the people in the book is a unique mixture that stirs up excitement along the way.
