“A light, humorous read. I learned a few tidbits about chickens! This book is very short and didn't knock me out of the water or anything, but it was a pleasant story.”

“Amazing, twisted labyrinth of a book. I was completely immersed in this novel. I dare you to predict what happens! ”

“Hilarious at times but also annoying at others. Ayun's personal accounts of her travels are light reading and good for a break from more intense stuff. ”

“Typical Ann Rule. She is one of my favorite true crime writers but I am finding her later books not as well written or "intense" as her older stuff. But I am still a faithful reader and do enjoy her stuff even if it's formulaic. ”

“Very fascinating book. The medical aspect combined with Gustine's story of being a "dress lodger" was extremely informative. I read it soon after The Crimson Petal and the White which was one of my favorite books EVER. So sadly it doesn't measure up to The Crimson but it was a hard act to follow! Jody ”

“This book is why I read. It came highly recommended to me and I finally read it with some trepidation as I hate it when my expectations are too high. But this story blew me away. Read this book!! I promise you will immersed in the characters to such a degree that you will not even notice how long the book is. ”

“Love this author, just love her! She has the best self deprecating sense of humor that I would read anything by her. ”

“I was dying to read more of the character's lives after the unfulfilling ending of Faber's brilliant The Crimson Petal and the White. I just was expecting too much I think. The stories felt forced by the readers clamoring for more, rather than the author being true to The Crimson. ”

“I love the premise of this book--saying "yes" and broadening your view point. However, I couldn't get past how full of herself this girl was. She seemed to be constantly flattering herself, her body, her intellect, etc.. If it weren't for her wit, I would have ditched this book. I don't recommend it. ”
