Don’t tell me she’s not a villain, she’s totally a villain. But at least she keeps house.

Really? Woe! I’m sad you didn’t like it because it seems like something you would totally like. But it does get off to quite a slow start. If I hadn’t needed to finish it quickly so I could wrap it up and give it to Mumsy for Christmas, I might well have given up in the early stages.

I was bored to freaking tears by the first 75 pages, though apparently I should have endured. Everyone digs this book.

Iris, I will consider it “liked.” 🙂

Haha, shame unnecessary! I know I’ve learned a ton of famous quotes from random pop culture rather than from their actual “classic” sources!

Sorry, *another* note to add that I fell in love with this new font you are using. It looks so lovely.

I very much want to *like* this comment. Someone met Jenny through my blog? I feel all kinds of honoured. Jenny is awesome.

I agree, the book wouldn’t be spoiled even if you knew some details that might be considered spoilers. But then again, I never mind spoilers, because usually I just can’t take not knowing what is going to happen and spoil myself on purpose. I remained spoiler free so far as the second half of the book. I think why I found it hard to express my love for this book was because it was the second half of the book that made me love it so much. The first half, while good, was a little slow for me at times.

Hahaha, thanks for coming by! Will you still want to hang out if I confess that the reason that phrase sticks in my head is not from reading it in context, but from reading it in The Time Traveler’s Wife? I confess this with much shame!

Yeah, it did start slowly. With all the planes and things! So many planes! But I loved it as soon as Maddie and Queenie got together.
