Review
This was an interesting read.  At first I had troubles getting into it.  It was like reading the diary of a bored housewife that has maids and no hobbies.  But then something happened.  I cannot recall the exact turning point, but I went from dragging my feet to tearing through the pages trying to figure out what was going on.  *CRAZY ALERT*  Things get pretty crazy and your heat brakes a little for this woman as you watch her slow and inevitable descent into madness.  Beautiful and endearing.

You must read this one tonight!  Have you read this book?  Leave a comment below with your thoughts about it.
