-catching breath-

Whoaaaaaa! I just want to say that all that I have been reading lately is Romance. That sweet and cute love where a boy meets girl, they can't resist each other and everything is butterflies and pink hearts. And I don't mind it. Not at all. But Muckross Folly was a completely surprise and I did not expect that. It was exactly the kind of "different" that I needed and I loved every moment of it. Two badass women who want to prove themselves made me seriously want to live at least a day in their life. Except maybe for when the tragedy happen.. But overall this is a MUST read! Amazing - 4 stars.
