"I can't remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one, a world so vivid that I kept forgetting this was a work of fiction populated with characters so utterly wonderful that I kept forgetting they weren't my actual friends and neighbors. Treat yourself to this book, please. I can't recommend it highly enough."---Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love.

I just loved this book. All I can say is READ IT! You will get caught up in it and be sad to see it end. The first thing I thought when I finished it (in one day, staying up until the middle of the night), was how soon could I read it again?
