Dorothy Gale is all grown up, and her adventures in Oz are now long in her past. She now trudges through the daily grind at a job she dislikes, and had more romance problems that any girl should. When her college friends plan a reunion, she gets her friend to pose as a fake boyfriend, and that is when the real magic begins.
Arh! I have so many mixed feelings about this book. Am many of my past reviews prove, I usually love all things Oz. And this book certainly takes a different spin on where Dorothy's life may have gone after Oz, but the story contradicts what some of the later Oz books tell about Dorothy's future within Oz.
I did not like that this story threw together all these fairytale/literary characters without really explaining why. Were they really these fairy tale characters, or just people who resembled them? It just did not seem very well developed or thought out. I feel like this could have been polished and with some character development, this could have been a great story.
As it is, the story is full of fluff, a typical romance chick lit story, using fairy tale characters. And it just falls short.
This book is a part of my personal library.
