I am a non-fiction reader, mostly biographies and auto- biographies. Susan Branch's books are filled with her watercolor art, which adds a sweet touch, yet I just really would have loved this even without her art. And her other book about arriving in Martha's Vineyard, and her early life there, I loved dearly, too. In fact, I read the latter first, and then promptly bought copies of it for my nieces. If I hadn't already over-bought in early Christmas shopping for my nieces, I would buy The Fairy Tale Girl for them too. Maybe I will next year, if they don't buy it themselves.

Read the first one in the trilogy and was not disappointed in the second book. Can not wait for the third! Susan writes her books like you are having a cup of tea with a good friend ,meaning you are really interested in what she is telling you. The biggest bonus is her beautiful drawings scattered about in good taste. Her stories are well executed in her own words .Not overly edited , refreshing read.

Loved reading this book, I couldn't put it down and read it in two days. I will go back and read it again and enjoy the artwork within this lovely book. It is part of a two book series, and now I cannot wait until next spring to get the other book. I love all things Susan Branch and this book does not disappoint!

This book was reccomended by a blogger that I follow on IG. Susan branch writes in a familiar easy way. The way you might talk with your sisters or cousins or friends. Her books are written, in my opinion, relateable to women raised in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. I really enjoyed this book bc its clean, wholesome, well written. As a bonus her own watercolor illustrations add a special touch to the writing. I have ordered the next 2 books that follow "The Fairytale Girl".

While reading this book I was inspired to perfect my hobbies such as cooking, crafting, sewing, art and so on. I enjoyed reading about the life of the author; I also delighted in how the author went through painful times, but still seemed to be grateful for all of her situations she experienced.
