It is a great mistake to imagine that men care less for gossip than women.

Really? Are you sure you didn't dream this book and wake up thinking you'd read it? Because--really?

I need to go read the review again.

Apparently I didn't dream that it has five volumes of sequel, either. Whee!

That's just amazing. I checked on Amazon and clicked the link to request it on Kindle. I hope those votes go somewhere. :D

Actually, I was totally thinking of you and catyah while I was reading it, because I think you'd both dig it, and I know it's not available electronically. In it's favor, the ILL version I got was a teeeeeeny paperback that had had hard covers slapped on it, and it's only 180 pages.

With an evil mother and fucked up family dynamics and lush writing and DID I MENTION THE HEROINE'S A CROCODILE?

*fans self* I'm okay. I'm okay. Whoo.

WAAAAANT.

There is no way I'm not reading this. *grabby hands*

[oddmonster]

I know! Dude, totally! That is *exactly* how I feel about the other five volumes!

*CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!*
