Review: From the opening line, it just keeps getting better

With an opening like this, you'd think the author has nowhere to go but down.  Not Karen Stivali.  Somehow, she knows how to take a knockout beginning and to keep the surprises (and reader joy) coming.  Her characters always have baggage, which make then truly relatable and genuine.  Her stories have enough drama and conflict to be oh-so-compelling.  While you might guess at the ending, you will still be very happy to take the journey with the characters, and very satisfied with how it all works out.
