Reviews
Like a charm is a touching, inspiring and cerebral book. It is for advanced readers who can understand multi-layered, complex and unpredictable storylines featuring a cast of characters. It is also for readers who might catch a glimpse of themselves in a character like Ramya and who need to learn that everybody is special and everyone can find a friend. It’s for those who need to learn something about themselves – that if you do a good thing for the right reason, you can be light and free and beloved and stylish and glamorous! Highly recommended.
