I picked up this book at the store and read the back cover . . . but it was the holiday season and I was distracted and I just wasn't drawn in. After getting on the waitlist for a ton of books, this book included, I forgot all about them. 2 months later this title became available. On a Sunday while I was supposed to be cleaning my home with a touch of obsessive fervor, I started to read. And then my house was neglected while I read for hours and hours. I demolished this book.
