Reviews

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simply put... the lesson of this book is that sometimes to help a friend you may have to think outside of the box. Sometimes you may even discover that really... they ultimately have to want to help themselves.

Big fan of both characters, but not one of the best stories. Just felt too stretched and too random. I know that Pinkie is supposed to be random but she felt out of character.
