I love, love, love this book. This is a FANTASTIC book. Stop what you’re doing and go get a copy right now. It is witty and clever and the author has such an amazing grasp of language that she plays with it in ways you rarely get to experience. You get the feeling that if you had a conversation with her, you’d never be able to keep up. This is one story that had me thinking about it whenever I wasn’t reading it (in other words, when I was painting the kitchen cabinets like I should be doing now). This book makes you so uncomfortable for the main character you squirm in your chair (not in a dark or scary way). You want to shake the book and yell at Patty (the character) to stand up for herself! I won’t tell you any more about it though since you’ll probably be reading it soon.

One thing did bug me…this appears to be the author’s first book, and yet, I know her name. Someone tell me why? I had two guesses…one was she’s a friend of someone who blogs and so I’ve seen her mentioned there and the other was wrong (I thought maybe she was repped by one of the agents I queried).  Help?
