I do know that my book club will love this book! The continuous references to so many different pieces of literature just made me smile. It also makes the marriage of AJ and Amelia so right!!!! I have truly enjoyed this book and, though I did not like AJ dying---the ending was very satisfactory!

My local Indie has chosen NOT to push this book, although I offered to lead a book group on it. The proprietors felt it is too much of a novel that only literary fiends can comprehend. I disagree. It appears to be a light read. Yet the literary references between chapters require thought and even some research. The reader can choose to take the character development is superficial or delve further. For example, who are Maya's role models? What impact might they have on her? Today's world goes beyond the traditional family model. Are kids better or worse off for it?
