This is a literary story, so if you're looking for a cozy read -- look elsewhere. Still, the characters and circumstances feel real. It also evokes emotions on both ends of the spectrum in a way only great storytelling can.

I can't believe it took so long for me to actually decide to read this book.  Everyone i know has loved it, and i really enjoyed the TV series, but the read was MUCH better than anticipated.  I love that the book was even more feminist than the TV series.  And there was more 6:30.  What a genius character, with uncanny intelligence and self-doubt.  In my Book Club, we discussed book-inspired tattoos and inthis book I found my choice:  

“The librarian is the most important educator in school. What she doesn't know, she can find out. This is not an opinion; it's a fact. Do not share this fact with Mrs. Mudford.”  Not that I am likely to get a tattoo anytime soon...

I did not expect so many laugh out loud moments, many of which were at the expense of Mrs Mudford (who turns out to be a little more likeable in the series.)

I will be recommending this to everyone I know who isn't also late to this party.
