As a woman of a certain age (ahem) I think that it seems to happen to a lot of women I know in their thirties.lemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767103318863906140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851614.post-30401450950266612042011-02-22T09:03:59.525-05:002011-02-22T09:03:59.525-05:00She clearly has commitment issues if she's bee...She clearly has commitment issues if she's been carrying on with Jack (?) for 10 years, stuck in the same place.

I read this book right after the one by the prison librarian, Running the Books, so I was way more leery of Aidan than the narrator was!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.com
