Amy – I know! The book was brilliant but hard to read. Not sure if I can bring myself to watch the movie.

I had seen earlier clips from Kevin, and it all freaks me out. Seriously I’m sitting here with goosebumps. That is one book that I loved and hated all at the same time. I’m not sure I could ever read it again.
You will love What Alice Forgot I predict. For me, it hit so darn close to home in so many ways. It is precious.

Sandy – I am looking forward to What Alice Forgot – I wish my library had it on audio, as I have more time to sneak impulse reads in on audio.
