THIS BOOK! A rollercoaster I don't think I can get off and be the same . . .

"I stayed awake a long while, simply watching him. The moment he pulled me closer in his sleep, entwined his legs with mine and puffed out a contented sigh: That made life complete."

Edge, J.S.. Elephant Shoe (p. 339). IPN. Kindle Edition.

I stiffen when, laying on gentle pressure, he attempts to manoeuvre my head in to him. I don’t know why I do that. Feeling my resistance, he immediately lets up and I sense the cutting sting of rejection I’ve caused. I lower my own head onto him, pressing my face against his chest. He sighs, his arm tightening around my back as he moves our joined hands into his lap."

I plead guilty to leaving this book on my to-be-read pile waaaaaaaay too long!

It's intelligent. It's compelling. It's realllll.

And Mikey is much more likable than Holden Caufield ever was . . . to me at least.
