"This book is so well written and so gripping that it was hard to put down. The main character, Gibby the narrater, is amazing. Her trouble remembering things makes it all more suspenseful. Its not too hard to take her swearing, she does have an excuse. Kagen is a wonderful writer!"
"This book took me by surprise. When I started it I was not sure if I would like it. It was a bit repetitive due to the narrator having a Traumatic Brain Injury. As I read though the wide array of quirky southern characters drew me in. There was a lot going on in the book which kept me interested and by the middle I could not put the book down."
"Unique story with even more one-of-a-kind characters. A truly original protagonist who refers to herself as NQR, (not quite right). As a result of a horrendous car crash, she is left with developmental problems that she is clever enough to realize. She strives to become and prove herself to be QR someday. Part drama, part love story, part mystery. A delightful summer/beach read that will leave you truly satisfied at the end.
This is the second of Lesley Kagen's books for me and they've both pleased me. In the first one, Whistling In The Dark, the dual protagonists are endearing young girls you strain to protect. Again, part mystery, part love story but truly novel. Mrs. Kagen had successfully nailed down the art of original characterization. I look forward to her next book."
"The first few pages had me laughing out loud, but then it became tedious and confusing. I didn't understand what era it was set in because at times it seemed present day and at others it seemed set in the 50's. I certainly didn't hate the book but it's one that I would never willingly read again."
