The Lost Story: A Novel by Meg Shaffer US pub date - 7/16/24
Having been fortunate to read an early copy of The Wishing Game and adoring it, I was just as lucky to receive an invitation to read The Lost Story which I knew I had to read the second I could - growing up I absolutely loved the Narnia books (4th grade Scholastic book fair, ftw), have continued to love a good fairy tale and while I read the synopsis for this, I was immediately sold.
Once I started this, I read it over a day as it was pure magic. With each chapter, I fell more and more in love with this story; it just kept getting better, and I didn’t want to stop reading.
*The bit about fairy godmothers made me tear up.
*And the romance? omg, omg, OMG! Chef’s kiss.
*The secondary characters are vivid.
Gorgeous and perfect, I read The Lost Story with the utmost pleasure; it’s the best book I’ve read so far this year and has my highest recommendation, I hope you love it as much I did ❤️
*I’m going to pre-order this as an audiobook.
**I truly hope there will be more to this 😍
***Stevie Nicks is a goddess, the High Priestess, who really does transcend space and time
****thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us, @meg_shaffer
*****I’m also going to add Tiffany Reisz’s books to my list.
Thank you to Ballantine and NetGalley for the DRC
