My Review
This wasn't the book for me. For the most part, I didn't like the dialogue. People don't talk like that. Like when Ronnie was explaining why Farnsworth had her in a bind. I mean so says that in front of the person who has you in the bind? It was too much telling at some points.
I didn't like Ronnie as a character though. She is strong willed and ready to protect those she cares about. Phoenix getting with Brooke I get but it was just stupid. Especially knowing how Brooke feels about Ronnie. The twists and turns try to keep you on your toes. The story is good. I think if the dialogue was written different I would have connected with the story more.

About the Author
Given my love for cities and all that is gritty, my new obsession with trees really has me stumped. (Sorry.) Maybe it's because trees are the inspiration behind my new YA/NA novel, THE LETTING.
Whatever the reason for my new infatuation, some things remain constant -- like my love for: coffee (although sadly, it's now decaf); yoga; Luna bars (I am petitioning for them to bring back Chocolate Raspberry!); running in my neighborhood; Hemingway; Bukowski... and, above all, my husband and my girls.
I am the author of the bestselling novel, Sleeping With Mortals: The Story of a New York Mistress, and I'm also a playwright. I have my B.A. in English and my M.A. in Theatre.
