Sarah Addison Allen’s books are filled with magic realism, and her latest, The Girl Who Chased the Moon is no different. This is what I love about them actually. I have yet to read her first novel, The Sugar Queen, but I will. I was enchanted with her next novel, Garden Spells, and I loved The Girl Who Chased the Moon and I didn’t want it to end.

It is full of quirky characters and small town charm. Throw in a bit of magic and you have a wonderful story unfolding that carries you away with it. It is light, easy reading that makes you long for sweet cakes, and moonlight walks with a loved one.

I thouroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who would like to just escape into a good story and feel good for a while.
