Though this is not the type of book I would normally be attracted to, I read it based on the recommendation of a friend. It took me a bit to get into, but I certainly loved it in the end. The story is strange, and sexy, and fascinating… keeping you hooked until the very end.

And when they ask what book changed my life, I will remember this one.

It's a book about rage, about the magnificence of being a woman, about the right to chose to be exactly what you want and I loved every word of it.

May we all be bigger than ourselves, bigger than the sky.
