"I'm actually quite enjoying the switching between Libby Day's perspective and the third-person, pre-murder chapters set at her mom's house. Not many writers can pull off that kind of switching, but Gillian seems to succeed." — Mar 24, 2013 01:23PM

"Great concept. Writing flows nicely enough. But...kinda boring and sort of depressing? Characters not really doing anything for me? I don't know. I do plan to finish it, but I don't know if this book is an ideal companion for an entire spring break." — Mar 24, 2013 07:03AM

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.”
― The Merchant of Venice
