This book was interesting on so many levels. It really makes the reader feel quite uncomfortable because…well, I don’t really want to say, but I have to say that if I didn’t know Lisa, I might not have trusted her enough to make it all work, and I actually might not have kept going. The thing is, it’s not a bad thing to make your reader squirmy and I know she’s a nice person and a very good writer so I carried on (I’m also kind of a wimp, so I knew that I should keep going). Lisa’s helped me with very insightful questions about my own writing, so I was pretty sure I could count on her to make it all okay. She did a great job. Add this one to your reading pile!

*I also read Diane Mott Davidson’s CATERING TO NOBODY and listened to WHAT HO, JEEVES by PG Wodehouse on audio and did a travel/research trip which is why Need To Read hasn’t been updated recently.
