My friend described her experience reading this book saying she kicked her feet while reading it, and I think that’s an excellent descriptor of the experience. I personally giggled a lot and generally found it hard to put down. If I were to choose a favorite aspect of the book it would be Emily’s acknowledgment in retrospect that she was making unwise or unsafe choices.
