Hello Life
“Heartfelt…. Explores the rich themes of love, jealousy, friendship and resilience.”— Seattle Times

“Uplifting … finely honed.”— Dallas Morning News
“Marvelous.”—Billie Letts
“Two enchanting characters … at once utterly unique and resonantly universal. A book rich in story and brimming with humanity.”—Robert Olen Butler
Gwen is sloppy and sexual, Lila is orderly and chaste. They scrap like kids and war like women. Both are terribly young to be facing such hard choices.

Meh
Volé dans une boîte à livre à Boston
Couverture aussi aguichante que la personnage principale
Honest to God, ça m'a fait chier de le finir
En 4 page, une bombasse assomme un saumon, une mineure est enceinte d'un quinquagénaire mexicain en plus d'acheter un salon de coiffure, y'a des pouliches meurtrières?
Too much

Not bad. Would be a good beach read. I finished a third of it. Although I am interested to see how it ends, I just have too many books that I am dying to get to. I may check this out again.
