Bray's first book in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy is a page-turner. Despite the fact that it is kind of long (clocking in at around four hundred pages), once you start reading, the hardest thing about this book just might be putting it down. So leave your dictionary on the shelf, find a comfy chair to sit in, and get ready to get totally wrapped up in Gemma's world.
