BUYING ADVISORY: HS - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Despite lingering effects of an illness that make her family believe the contrary, Hannah (22yo) is sure that she can continue to live her life without being a family embarrassment. Even if she never marries. Jonathan (26yo) is the son of a merchant who worked hard to be successful, raising his family into the gentry. But the transition is only accepted by those who ignore him and look at his wealth.

Stones wowed me from the very beginning—I had to read the first chapter twice because it was so well done. The twists and turns of the story were unexpected and often adorable. Furthermore, Hannah and Jonathan’s story shows readers that capabilities and dreams are only limited by what we tell ourselves. 

The characters are English. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol and for sexual harassment.
