Zielin’s writing is so beautiful, subtle, and profound that it catches you completely off-guard until suddenly you’re hurting for Jane just as much as she is. I really understood these characters, despite their different situations from my own, and I feel as if their stories are imprinted in me somehow. Yet, the whole time she’s there, Jane can’t help but question if she’s made the right choice, why her brother abandoned her and her mother, if her mother needs professional help, or most importantly if she is the one who needs help too.Īs far as contemporary novels go, I absolutely loved this book.

I barely mouthed, “Yeah sweets.” Raised my bosom up, and brushed my nipples against his face, my nipple rubbed above his opened mouth, grazing it. It made no sense to him, but to me I knew exactly why I wanted him to do it. “Of the two of us?” he asked tilting his head, shocked and puzzled, looking straight into my eyes. My breasts were outside the cups of my strapless satin dress, and my nipples still wet from just slipping out his mouth. My arms hugged around his neck, both of us were dressed in formal clothes and sitting in the bathroom. I instructed him, while sitting in his lap. |
