You might really like it because of the sort of social service themes/storylines.

I’m hopeful that it won’t be *too* slow for me to enjoy, since it’s relatively short-ish; I’ll give it a try, Susie! Thanks for the great review, as always!

It’s definitely not going to be at the top of my fall reads list!

Everything is slow for me lately. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s me.

It seems like almost everything I’ve read this month has been slow. Frustration is setting in!

That said, based on your thoughtful review, I think I’ll skip this one. I’ve too many books in my TBR to chance one that’s slow to build and I think the Catholic guilt part would bug me too.

Great review as always Susie!
