Review | Falling into Place
cupofbooks 2014-12-23 | Shiny covers are the worst! Also I forgot to mention this novel also contains quite a few scenes with slurs (specifically homophobic and sexist). Your mileage may vary on how you feel about these scenes, but I did feel they had a purpose for the most part.
