Review:


"This is a fabulous piece! I've honestly never read anything quite like it before. You have a brilliant premise and wonderful first person narration. Your conversational wit is superb (ie: "call up your pets," "what color are your boxers?" and "a bazillion dollars"). I found myself relating, connecting, and truly enjoying your light-hearted discussion of a sometimes overwhelming situation. I also really loved the way you incorporated your beautiful relationship with Nina... "babe," the "kiss goodnight," and so many sweet ways you relate to each other. It really adds a richness to the human element in your narration." -Faith Rose, author of Now to Him
