Fantastic Book!
My daughter has been waiting to get this book for a long time because it sold out everywhere. She finally found it in stock and $20 cheaper from Target, plus it arrived in a few short days after ordering. She is thrilled and LOVES it!

Stupid Target
Target cancelled my pre-order without my permission after stringing me along since November waiting for this book. Horrible experience and waste of time

Waste of time
Target cancelled my order even though I preordered it on 11/17/2024. They kept giving a later and later shipping date and then it switched to backorder. They kept sending emails for me to manually approve the delay of the order which I had to keep up with. After months, they've now cancelled the order without my permission. They should have never listed it as a preorder if it wasn't available. It was a waste of time and gave false hope since it's now sold out everywhere.

Cancelled Preorder after 2 months of waiting
Target cancelled my order without my permission, even though it was preordered in November. Get this book through Amazon instead. Bad experience.
