The premise does make it seem a lot lighter than it actually was, and this also intrigues me. I will be on the lookout for this book.

To be honest, it didn't sound all that great to me but a few trusted bloggers said really good things about it so it doesn't surprise me that it was the runner-up for Fiction. I don't know how far and wide the awards go but maybe this book will get a bit more recognition from them.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-15218063891461091812012-04-11T10:39:48.792-04:002012-04-11T10:39:48.792-04:00I am not familiar with this book at all.
