Customer Reviews

Amazing.
I read this book in two days. I went to bed and it kept going through my mind how great it was and i woke at 4.am to read on. In fact I read it until I finished the book. I had to read lots of it in the bathroom so my family couldn't see me crying. It was fantastic.. I am in the motions of actually ordering Annie...I just cant wait.

very far fetched
I have read many of Maureen Lee's books and found them extremely gripping and enjoyable. I was a little bit disappointed with 'Stepping Stones'. Although the story was well written I found two of the 'twists' to be completely unbelievable and totally far fetched. This kind of put me off reading to the end. It was still well written but I found myself shouting 'as if that would happen!'

Great story
A great but sad story,I couldn't put it down, I just so much wanted Lizzie to have peace with herself
