I had more fun writing this novel than anything I've done before. The characters came alive for me and now seem like real friends. They are energetic, funny, insightful, and face life's challenges with the same confusion and frustration we all feel. They have their faults, as you will see, but I can't help loving them all.

Unique imagination teaser, with “real” characters I could relate to. The text makes you feel like you are in the room “like a fly on the wall”.
I wasn't a big fan of this book. It was an ok read and I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't care for it, it just didn't click with me. I won this book from Goodreads.
