It took me until the last 100 pages to really fall into the book. I'm not as into descriptive - my add kicks in. Interesting story about a bad ass chick though, always appreciate that.

Read for book club with Matt Nathanson. Not sure I fully understand the whole thing, but it was interesting and made me think.

Not sure if this got me more because my partner is a black male or what. The story is both simple and complex and such a good reflection of line.
