I really liked this book but I felt that it lacked a really story. The characters didn't really go anywhere with their lives. I thought Jason would turn his life around but he died instead. I thought that Gretel would find love but seems doomed to be alone. There is always a bit of magic in Alice Hoffman's books, and this one is no exception. I thought that it was funny how the young versions of Jill and Gretel destroyed a neighbor's car. It reminded me of a childhood friend, though we never did anything that crazy.
