When I spotted these titles in a charity shop recently I just couldn’t help but be drawn towards them. Too Good To Be True is the sequel to The English Roses, so I just knew I had to have it, to see where the story takes me.
One would question my need to purchase a third and final copy of The English Roses, but I just couldn’t find it in my heart to leave such a beautiful book behind. This sure is a special one and has to be up there on my favourites list. The fact these books are written by Madonna, completely adds to the thrill.
I think the thing that appeals to me the most is the fact although it may generically be a children’s book, there are so many quirks within the story that makes it a tale for both young and old alike.
I sure know I will forever be fond of The English Roses.
