Goodreads Synopsis
After coming home from a monotonous office job to the apartment where she lives alone, thirty-something Abigail Watson is having a tough day in a hard week in a rotten month, and don’t even get her started on the year. Until that night when something wonderfully impossible shows up at her door and rings the bell insistently.
You’re not supposed to answer the door late at night to strangers who come knocking unannounced, right?
Right. But Abigail does,
Because how can you be scared of someone with translucent wings like those of a dragonfly?
WHAT THE FAERIES LEFT BEHIND is an urban fairy tale ‘antidote’ to those times when the dullness and drudgery of grown-up life seems inescapable, and to the misconception that wonder and play are just for children.

I really wanted to like this story, I really did, but I felt no connection to any of the characters, which made this almost a chore to read, unfortunately. I think most of this come from the short length of this, and personally, in such a short novel, I think it's hard to create depth and connection with your characters.
Abigail didn't act 36. This was problem #2. To me, she acted like a teenager.
I'm not sure if I like the way that all the action starts right at the beginning. And I mean that, It's on like the first page, so I got quite confused.
Other than that, it was a good little anecdote.
