Just Finished Reading .....

This has not stopped me enjoying the book though. I have read her 2nd book first Hurry Up and Wait which I thought I would not enjoy but ended up loving it.

Happy Reader

I read Glasshopper and loved it too. Hurry Up and Wait is in my TBR pile, so something to look forward to.

Oh, that's interesting! I liked her, but not Star, although that's hardly surprising.

Thinking on it, I didn't like her from the moment she admitted that she had lied about what had happened to her husband. I thought that if she would lie about that, then I couldn't really trust anything she had to say.

Hmmm, her love for Star was cloying and over-protective, but I think I understand why - sort of - and it made her more vulnerable and human. She was damaged by her past. Anyway, we have to agree to differ!
