This was recommended to me by one of the cool young women who work at my local Barnes and Noble along with Cashore's Graceling series.
It was a lot of fun to read. It tells the story of Jane and her trying to recover from the grief of losing her beloved Aunt Magnolia by accepting her former tutor Kiran's invite to come back to a gala at Kiran's family home on a private island, Tu Reviens. The invite comes at the exact right time and oddly enough not long before she dies Magnolia made Jane promise she would never turn down a chance to go to Tu Reviens. Once there Jane meets a cast of characters that change her life in some unexpected ways.
Jane's story once she gets to Tu Reviens changes depending on choices she makes, and she makes 5 of them. and each one is told in a different genre. Jane experiences a Heist Mystery, then she is in a Spy Thriller, then she finds herself in a Gothic Horror, and then a Space Opera and finally a Fantasy tale.
Some of the 5 worlds were better than others but all in all this was really enjoyable. I liked how some of the threads carried through all 5 worlds. I love Jasper!!! And Ivy!!! This was a fun and nice palette cleanser in-between some of the heavier, darker reads in my TBR pile.
Thank you bookseller!!!
