If that is a UK size then she's American size 6, which is my size. Either way, the character is not overweight and has a poor self image. Gabby may have my body, but not my body image. Still, thanks for the cheer! It's not fun having one's thighs scrutinized, even in fiction.<br /><br />Cathy, to the future?<br /><br />Kelly, so you have those boots too!<br /><br />Barrie, thanks for hosting and the custom link!<br /><br />Bee, welcome back! Adultery is an old theme, but Jane gives it a modern update via social media and cosmetic enhancement. She kept me guessing about the resolution until the end. All plot strings were tied and finished with a bow.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-65768392133651763382014-05-10T12:09:48.471-04:002014-05-10T12:09:48.471-04:00Hmmmm . . . how intriguing.

Extramarital passion is definitely heady stuff and it will definitely wreck your life. I wonder how Jane resolves this not-unusual but always intriguing plot?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-77082816767156224572014-05-09T22:01:29.393-04:002014-05-09T22:01:29.393-04:00I think this is really cool!

BTW, I changed the links in this month's post so that they're the exact link to each review. That's what a little extra time and some procrastination will do. :) Thanks for reviewing, Sarah!Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678698296265168217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-89078939975135151472014-05-08T17:48:17.660-04:002014-05-08T17:48:17.660-04:00How neat.

I can't promise you I will buy it (I've just been on amazon recently. Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation. It was a lot of music this time) but I will consider it. Thanks for your honest review. The premise of the book interests me as well.

It looks to be a very special connection that you two share that is both emotionally and creatively fulfilling. Yes, we can well see why you would like to live closer.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
