This lady can write!!! I have intermittent vision problems so I frequently have to put books down for a few days until my eyes clear up. Usually that doesn't bother me too much anymore, but it drove me crazy while I was reading this book. It was so well-written and engaging, I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to read the rest of her books!!!
