I love meeting fellow Floridian bloggers!

But now I'm not sure if I want to! I got it a while ago and was going to read it because I owe it to someone in a game I played on paperbackswap, but there are soooo many other books I want to read that now I'm not sure, lol.

Maybe that's why I'm assuming her books have a lighter tone despite the subject matter. <br /><br />Well glad to hear you guys still had a great discussion and I'm with JoAnn, sometimes a bit of snark is good :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-69970569858720134642010-04-27T16:21:59.584-04:002010-04-27T16:21:59.584-04:00Sometimes a snarky book club meeting is fun!

I find that a lot of these types of books are just too predictable for my tastes, so I am always interested in finding one that's really unique. It sounds like this is not the one I've been looking for. Wonderful and honest review Sandy.
