Took me a little while to get into the story but once you’re in, you’re IN! 

Had to take away a star though because the largest character flaw is the fact that Anna is “delusional” because she’s an agoraphobe and is an alcoholic.

Celebrating Jordon's birthday today. Decorated, going to pick up a pie (his request) on the way home and have a streak dinner.
