This is a wonderful book. It is one of the very best in the Anastasia series. It is absolutely hilarious and really draws you in. It is such a page-turner. One thing that is great about it is a total twist of plot near the end which is a total surprise that made me laugh even more. Though I wouldnt advise lying in reply to a personal ad, it was all done in naivete and it actually teaches a moral. Find out what a rut Anastasia gets into for lies on top of lies. She really learns the consequence of her actions. A great read.
I loved this book! It was my favorite of all the Anastasia books! When I guessed the ending 3/4 of the way through, I was delighted to find out I was right. Anastasia is such a naive, flighty character that shes a joy to read about...and often reminds me of myself. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good laugh.
