Spectacular!
I loved the opening chapter--it was shocking, jarring, and beautifully written. The book doesn't let up--I was hooked from the start and read it almost straight through. Carrie is a complicated character--likable and flawed as we all are. A truly compelling read.

Relationships Redux
Ann Packer has assembled a natty group of ten stories that will thoroughly please the innocent voyeur within you. She takes you into the homes, minds, and hearts of her characters and introduces you to their environment, thoughts, and feelings. Her characters are real and likable. I have a certain affinity for the short story that lets me eavesdrop on the lives of others, and these fit the bill ...

Incredible... difficult to put down.
The book is tough to stay with initially - until you pass the first 100 pgs. If you stick it out, you'll be thankful. You will be one with Carrie - you will understand her and identify with her. The book really makes you think about decisions - the kinds that determine the rest of your life. This book will also bring up your own "issues". It will warm you up, it's sexy, and authentic...
