MS Demeanor

Jane (a lawyer) is under house arrest for a misdemeanor. What are the odds another tenant in her NYC building is also under house arrest? Witty, charming, funny. Really loved this author’s style and her humor.

Cute and light as cotton candy. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

I was so intrigued when I read the synopsis on the back of the book I kept thinking about it, and then finally went back to Barnes & Noble to purchase it. I gave it a really good try and some of it was intriguing to me. But in the end, I found the book very boring and I have a feeling if I attempt to finish the rest, I got to 28%, that it would put me into a reading slump.
