This wasn't the funniest of her books but it was still a light, engaging inspiring story. I've known people EXACTLY like the supporting character Elise. You think no one can really be that self absorbed - sadly you can. So it was interesting for me to read about Elise nodding my head thinking, "yep, that's exactly how they do, those self centered people." I absolutely love the authors writing style. I love that she writes this particular type of book. Yesterday I went to our school librarian and at my recommendation she marked every Janette Rallison book for her fall order. I think a lot of our students will really get into these stories. I think they would appeal to some of the reluctant readers (I teach middle school). I loved the main characters and the bizarre development of their relationship amused me. Can't wait to read another Rallison book. I think Rallison's dialogue is brilliant. Brilliant. She hardly needs tags or descriptions, like she huffed and rolled her eyes. Her dialogue stands alone.
