If I find a good book I become obsessed with finishing it and have a hard time pacing myself! I read really fast but have to really be careful before I start a book or my responsibilities will get neglected!… Read More »
Audra’s Review:
I read this book while waiting in carpool line several days in a row. Tears were flowing every time I read it so I’m sure people were staring.
