Thanks, Julie! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Phyllis, “optimism” is a great word to describe it. This book reminded me that reading can be just plain fun. So much of what I read is heavier, and I think it’s important to deal with heavier themes, but happiness is important, too.

I’m posting an interview with Donita later this morning in which she talks about the role and importance of humour. I really liked her comment on this!

“It was a thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish. In a genre which often relies on heavy themes and gathering darkness, that can’t be said about every book. It’s entirely true of this one.”

You have really summarized the nub of the matter. What makes this book stand out is its optimism. It is delightful to read.

Thanks for letting me know, Mrs. Paul! I just resent them, though I’m a little concerned that my e-mails may not be getting through to you. If you don’t get them, can you let me know here? We can try to figure out some other way to get them to you!

Aaack! I can’t find the questions, Rachel. I have no idea if I answered them. Please resend them.

Well, your “ramblings” are all worth the read, Rachel. Good review. I also find the light tone of the book an enjoyable change of pace.
