Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
4.0
Oh, I love SEP. 3.5 because it was not as funny as SEP usually is.
So the book starts off as bizarre--with the whole puppets and whatnot thing. Thankfully, we get away from that crazy and delve into other parts of crazy. It was a fun and quick read with some great SEP moments:
"'I had no idea you were such a sexist.' His head jerked up. 'What are you talking about?' 'Any rational woman married to a man who was abusing her the way your wife was abusing you would have gotten out, gone to a shelter, whatever it took to get away. But because you're male, you were supposed to stick around? Is that how it is?'" (267)
"His voice was soothing, but the look he shot Annie told her if she even thought about moving from the room a terrible fate would befall her followed by an even worse fate, followed by total annihilation" (376)
