If I recall correctly, Lassie and Bewitched were the first TV shows I ever became obsessed with so it only made sense that I read Twitch Upon a Star. I wanted so badly to love it, but I didn't.

Being completely honest here, I could barely finish it. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to bother sharing a book review on it because it is just that bad. Twitch Upon a Star sorely needs editing by someone with superb talent because I know there is a good book in there somewhere. As it is right now it is simply a messy compilation of random facts that occasionally appear out of order and are nearly impossible to follow.

The author has the tendency to regurgitate facts over and over and over again. During a few points I just wanted to shout, "Omg! I GET IT!" because the same details are being told repeatedly which made it feel like filler to squeak out on more page. It was so tedious to read and I hate to admit that. This book is a complete disservice to the beautiful vibrant legacy of Elizabeth Montgomery.

I finished the book only because I loved Elizabeth Montgomery when I was a child. I wanted to learn as much as I could about her, even if I had to sort through a heaping mess to do it. If you really want to fall in love with Elizabeth Montgomery, I recommend skipping Twitch Upon a Star and binge-watching Bewitched.
