I kind of chalk this up to “it’s not you, it’s me”. I felt the same way about Rabbit Cake. Events end up feeling ridiculous to me, but I know so many who adore this book. And the humor is fabulous!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I have to smile at people complimenting my voice because I feel certain it must sound as shrill as the one in my head.

I didn’t love Rabbit Cake, but chalked it up to It’s Not You, It’s Me. Now having read Unlikely Animals I can say that Hartnett likes to push events to a point that feels silly to me. She does it again in this novel, but her humor is so outstanding I still enjoyed the book. I just rolled my eyes toward the end.

L&S needs to become a movie. So many incredible possibilities. Meryl Streep as Immy, Emma Stone as Joan?

I liked it, but Susie and Sarah loved it. I found the plot went too far towards the end, but the humor throughout is fabulous.

I have you to thank for a couple of recent 5 star reads – Notes on an Execution and Love & Saffron. I wish L&S was twice as long, though! I did not want it to end! I love hearing you on Sarah’s podcast. I don’t know if anyone has told you, but you have an excellent voice for podcasting/radio!
