Thanks a lot, Corinna.

This book was sitting on the table next to me when I sat down to eat my breakfast this morning, one of several brought over by our dear friend. After reading a dozen pages and becoming quite... entranced... by it, I turned it over to look at the cover, just to see what kind of person was writing this kind of odd and oddly compelling book. That's when I noticed this review on the cover:

"A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish." -Time

For the record, Edward made a sympathetic face when I showed him my bad, bad luck. Apparently he had read the cover and purposefully set the book aside without warning me. So no thanks to you, too, bad husband!

Obviously I am going to continue reading. I have been hurt by books before (I'm talking to you The History of Love) and no doubt I will be again, like, this week. I'm a sucker.
