Wow. For a novella (it's just over 100 pages of story total), this one packs quite a wallop. I managed to make it through to the end okay, but then the first two paragraphs of the author's acknowledgements, of all things, had me in tears. The good, happy kind, of course. I'm going to start stalking this author's website to see when her next book comes out for sure.This story just blew me away. It was steamy, moving, poignant, and funny. I loved Brian and adored Carrie. I strongly suspect that Carrie and I were separated at birth, actually. Even though this novella is fairly short on page count, somehow I couldn't just read this book quickly--it felt, like Brian's personal picture, as if it had many layers that I needed to investigate at a slower-than-usual reading pace. (Though, yes, I still read it in a day. It's summer break! And I'm probably going to read it again before school starts up again in the fall--it's that good.)And I am totally getting myself one of those "Reading is Sexy" totes. Or maybe the hoodie.
