This was a good ending to a trilogy. This book takes place 10 months after Megan 2. Megan is almost 17 and Jack is one year old. When I first heard of George (Megan's mom's boyfriend/fiancee)I immediately didn't like him. As I read further I really didn't like him at all. When he hit Jack, I had mi...

this book was ok. It was about what happened to Megan after the baby was born. She had alot of growing up to do in this book because now she has to take care of her baby who she named Jack. The book shows all the hardships a young mother goes through to take care of her baby. Megan is still a young ...

SpoilersI liked this book. I liked how it deals with the strain on families that teenage pregnancy has. Some of the books I've read before about a pregnant teen include supportive families. I liked how in this book, Megan's mother wasn't supportive about Megan's pregnancy because it gives us another...

Velvet was my first forage in Mary Hooper's writing and it won't be the last. I found this book very charming.We forget sometimes how much more naive the Victorians were comparing to us, and Miss Hooper shows this naivete in stark contrast with deviousness of the main villains very very well. She al...

Having read Mary Hooper's books before, I knew I'd probably love this but find a lot of faults with it. I eagerly read it anyway, as all of Mary's books are amazingly researched and the environments rich and easy to imagine. Mary's characters are very vivid too, I had no problem deciding on which ac...

However I did feel the plot was quite slow in places and others I wanted more detail. I would have like to have see...
