The story of an eight-way tangle of human beings…

February 18, 2015 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Sometimes, you find a book that draws you in so slowly and slyly that you don’t realize you’re invested until you finish it, and then you can’t stop thinking about the characters, and wondering what they’re doing now.
