And how does a 15-year-old end up with neck skin like that? Is there a sunscreen shortage among American models? (I'm buying the UK cover when it finally releases here and hiding this one behind it, for aesthetics' sake)
But what will you break out when your children deny fashions were stupid in their childhood? To this day my mother shakes her head and says 'Brammers, you thought the Bay City Rollers were attractive.' (In my defence, I was seven.)
This seems highly likely to me. And I am pleased to see that Sarah internalised all of the 'But a cube has six sides, you mean a tetrahedron' comments from that fic she wrote ;-)
...there is a half-finished sketch of a peacock on a notecard on my desk, staring at me with the eye that's pointed toward me, and with all the "eyes" on his tail.
AHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, you have uncovered the secret! It's really Smallville fanfic written by Leonardo!
(I love the way your brain works!)
I was right about something I suspected from page 58, though not in a negative 'that was so predictable' way; while it was predictable, it was interestingly so. It is worth giving it a go.
The particular plot point is telegraphed, but I think it needs to be because otherwise large swathes of the book would not make sense. I think I will have to reread it to get my head fully around what I think about it, but it's worth a second reading.
I don't know what it says about me, but I was truly surprised by the end revelation. Then I read all the other postings and realized that most people kind of figure out way before I did. Maybe that is one of the reasons why I could never be a private detective.
I really like the book but I have some issues with Nick's brother.
I had totally spoiled myself before even buying the book, for I have no restraint
I've been waiting all weekend for you to finish! All I wanted to do was talk to you about it! LOL. I finished it Saturday afternoon and whined very loudly in your general direction so you'd hurry up already, did you hear me?
XD
*goes off to plot more Jamie/Nick despite really not having the time to write that shit*
I'm not reading any of the comments in this post for fear there is a spoiler somewhere in there. What, paranoid? moi? Eh, lets just call it cautious, shall we.
Ah!! I have to read this book - Dymocks assure me that it will be in on Monday. However I can't get to the bookstore until Friday (bloody work). :( So another week gone without reading it! :(
