"I read this book as recommended in "Let's Hear it for the Girls". Good read but not one of my favorites. Great story but lacking a bit at the end. "

    " I loved the last chapter. Tons happened, but nothing happened in the 1/2 of the book. Shame... "

    " This was an odd book. Talking to cats is one thing but petrol pumps? This makes me wonder what is up with her mental state, especially with her obsession with what happened to Harriet. Speaking of Harriet why didn't she just ask the old woman in the first place rather than brooding over it all? "
