Missy is alive and well inside me.
You know how when you were Missy’s age you would lie in bed and daydream about that ONE GUY who never looked at shy, awkward little you, but in your head you could imagine him slowly noticing how awesome you were, but then you found out you were sick and had to reject him and he went to another girl and they were both really mean to you but he really loved you and wanted you back, but you had to be mean to him because you were DYING and he could NEVER KNOW and you were going to waste away pitifully by yourself, unloved, and then everyone would find out afterward and that ONE GUY would never be happy again because you were DEAD!*
That’s what this book is like.
And I loved every second of it.
*Wait … you didn’t do this? Ummmmmmmm.
::backs slowly away::
HUH? If she is married to the guy *coughassholecough* why would she keep her pregnancy from him?
The cover is very smexy.
Where have I just seen that cover?
Poor Missy… wanna cookie?
Wow. It’s like you were there and my BFF when I was in Jr. High. Scary.
I saw this one and skipped it b/c I figured the heroine was TSTL. Are you saying I should read it anyway?
Holly — I think this book will be one of those ones that readers either HATE or love despite themselves. Using Dear Jane’s measurement: the doormat/asshole ratio is high, and so is the heroine’s martyrdom.
That can strike me the wrong way with a lot of books, but here it worked for me … even as a part of me was saying, OH COME ON!!!
So this is one those books that I can’t recommend in the same way as I would, say, a Loretta Chase. But if you’re in the mood for an over-the-top, full on guilty pleasure read — and if this is the type of book that IS a guilty pleasure to you — you might enjoy it.
But if not? It might be a wallbanger.
Katiebabs — she doesn’t keep her pregnancy from him. She has the baby, then walks out of the hospital and leaves him and the baby alone.
Two years later she meets up with them again.
azteclady — lol, I have no idea where you’ve seen it. But I can imagine there have been many, many similar you’ve seen in the MB lines.
Carolyn — w00t! … but does that mean we’d both be dying and everyone would be crying over our wasted, limp, beautiful bodies?
Wait … you didn’t do this?
I STILL do this.
Hee. I do, but with my characters. It helps me ramp up the internal angst imagining Savi dying or leaving Colin or something, and then I’m bawling and it’s awful.
I love the cover, but I have to say that I never did that. lol
She leaves?? What a virgin mistress dodo.
So this post leaves my quite intrigued, but when I followed the link to buy M&B told me I can’t. What am I doing wrong?! I feel like this is something I would love
