ReplyDeleteHi Mandy :) Once we get moved and settled - again - I may have to buy this one. I am currently reading a library book, and have the Meredith College perk of being able to check it out for the entire semester - but it is SO good, I just really need to read it with highlighter in hand and then read again at other points in my life.
