Can't even tell you how long I've been waiting for Jenny Crusie to publish a solo book, but it's been a long time. Then I read the reviews of this at places like Dear Author and tried to prepare myself by not expecting so much. So maybe my delight in this comes somewhat from having lowered my hopes, but the things others criticized about this didn't seem like such a big deal. Yes, the hero and heroine spend a significant part of the book apart, but the absent person was there in their thoughts and in their hearts in a way that this didn't bother me. And the criticism that Andie didn't do anything to help Carter even though it was pointed out that Carter's danger was more subtle just didn't wash with me, because Andie had a lot of other things going on, demanding her attention, and when crunch time came she was there.

I've never read the Turn of the Screw (of which Jenny says this is a modernized retelling) but I may have to. Because this is a good story with lots of great creepy stuff in it.
