The End

After almost three years and eight months of postcards, I finally ran out. Anybody want to buy a postcard collection?

Be sure to follow me on ExpatAlien.blog to keep up with my new adventures. I have a book coming out soon.

Cheers!

In general I liked this book but in my opinion it was pure fantasy. Totally unrealistic. And when she comes in at the end she protests too much - oh no it’s not about my daughter. At that point I wanted to throw the book in the bin. Yuck.
