I wonder if there is a correlation between being shy and loving to read because it seems like it's a pretty common trait amongst book bloggers at least.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-64653846450059332292012-07-09T18:07:51.375+01:002012-07-09T18:07:51.375+01:00Ooh, is American Wife good?

From your description I could see that happening to me in this book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818290247292848025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-14571372129423856892012-07-09T00:32:24.159+01:002012-07-09T00:32:24.159+01:00I can definitely relate to being shy, but have nev...I can definitely relate to being shy, but have never been to any sort of prep school (always thought it would be cool in my naive younger days).Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-58288716259217866632012-07-08T21:18:35.546+01:002012-07-08T21:18:35.546+01:00This sounds great.

I'm tres keen to read it, especially because I LOVED 'American Wife', and, like you, have occasionally felt like the poor relation :)Celeste85https://www.blogger.com/profile/05575580291868960322noreply@blogger.com
