It transitions from scary to sad, but something I think every single woman should read!

I'm not that far in; but I'd concur... I think it's a great companion piece to "He's Just Not That Into You"

Oh wait.  Courtney, we're on the wrong board for this!!!

Kilbrack by Jamie O'Neill

Not sure that I like it, yet I find myself reading it anyway.  I did find a great quote in there this morning...

"...They had sat down to lunch at one o'clock.  Now, three hours later, she glanced to her wristwatch, and it was twenty past one.  Purgatory..."  [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif]

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

I am currently reading "The Step Child" by Donna Ford...it is about one womans life of horrific abuse and cruelty at the hands of her sadistic Stepmother...and how that experience shaped her life and turned her into the woman she is today...it is a page turner...

I tried to read that and got only 50 pages in before thinking, "life it too short."  It dragged on and on!!!  I had such high hopes too, but just couldn't get into it.

Ok...so I finally finished The Little Friend and I wasn't really thrilled with the ending, but I think I need to process it for a while. I think that 'the little friend' could have been Danny, when he was Robin's little friend. Maybe all the characters had little 'friends' or little 'devils' that are haunting them, as it were.

Any thoughts?
