One bracelet, sixteen charms…
My thoughts: The novel appealed to me simply because it was a story written in 16 parts by 15 different authors. It tells the story of a charm bracelet. Each charm has a story. I liked the set up. I liked the feel. I liked some stories better than others. I liked some writing styles better than others. Overall though, I enjoyed it. Plus it was a hardcover that cost me $3 new. So really…win/win for me.
