I liked this book, but didn't love it. I was hoping to find out much more about Iris. Instead it was more a story about Rebecca, with a side story of Iris. I wanted to know more about her life as a young adult, the time Gloria lived with her, etc. And I would've liked to see more about her journal writing to Gwen. All in all a good book, but after reading the Language of Spells I was hoping for much more in depth info.
