Oh, this book was so good. I literally JUST finished it a few minutes ago and haven’t really had time to sit back and organize my thoughts just yet, but I was completely enthralled with this one, and I’m so annoyed with myself for letting it sit in the pile for so long. I also love that I am familiar enough with Mitchell’s other works to pick up on tiny things and minor characters that have appeared elsewhere.
I had nothing to do with this...

The folks at the body shop did all the work for me! Not only did they repair the bumper, they washed, vacuumed and detailed the inside. Now I’ll just have to work on keeping it maintained.
