As a person who also does crosswords in ink and gets vexed when I can't finish one, I adored how Goss interwove hoe crosswords are made into the story line. This is a book of "what might have been"s, "what could be"s, and taking huge leaps of faith. In short, most of our lives! I adored that the love story was no way traditional- that it has as many twists and turns, and complications as real life. I don't want to give away the ending, but I assure you, you will be racing to the end, to see who Dana winds up with! And if you don't close the cover with a huge smile on your face, I'd be shocked!
In fact, I finished the book in less than THREE hours, so you could say I devoured it! I walked away from reading it feeling like a breath of fresh air had come into my life, and a huge reminder that leaps of faith only happen when you take the first step toward making them real.If you want a great little book for your inner grown up- this is the book for you!
And I am thrilled to be able to give one of you, your own copy!
