I read a lower review this week, and I got scared. I have to say I was most attracted to the cover yet someone reading books with adopted characters/foster kids is kind of my thing lately? I think I've read about 5 that fit into that category.<br /><br />I love what you say about the 3rd person narrative. Sometimes I can't pinpoint WHY certain things work in some books and not in others. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173717120884471137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-13265114065958159462013-08-20T22:34:18.004-07:002013-08-20T22:34:18.004-07:00I read a book that was said to be NA and the heroi...I read a book that was said to be NA and the heroine was an immortal woman thousands of years old who looked like 28...yeah, nice try.<br /><br />I am just not into NA.
