So glad someone else beside me loved this book!

I went to amazon.com to add this to my wishlist based on your review. For anyone reading this, the novel summaries at amazon give away what I assume are major spoilers for the book, which wordsofastory was good enough not to reveal.

It's NBD for me (I'll read the book either way), but just so y'all are aware.

Yeah, Amazon does give a spoiler but it's nbd to me either. I really want to read this one and I appreciate the review, I'm definitely reading this book and it will count in the Challenge That Dare Not Speak It's Name: GLBT Reading Challenge 2010 :)
