![]() ![]() I definitely used time I should have spent planning lessons reading this book instead. Actually I was quite engaged by her prose. Not one bit.When it comes to prose, yes I can put up with crappy writing if it means action (I did actually like Twilight at first, after all). Ivy is interesting too, she's not at all what I thought she would have been. The characters in this book are quite intriguing, there is Carroty Kate, who is sort of like Fagin in Oliver Twist, and by Oliver Twist, I actually mean the Disney film Oliver And Company. Oh fuck yes.I am a glutton for characters. Oh and did I mention it is set in Industrial-Era England. She was an orphan, then she went to live with some evil relatives, becomes a street criminal, picks up an addiction, and later becomes an artists model. What I got in return was something much better.A quick summary before I begin to cover this book in laurels, Ivy is basically about a girl named Ivy who has been shafted by life. I went into the book expecting some sort of romance, just because there was a woman on the cover. First, there is the gorgeous cover, which actually kind of threw me. Ivy by Julie Hearn was exactly what the doctor prescribed. Sometimes a girl just needs a really good work of historical fiction to ease her hectic life. ![]()
