" I was expecting a light and fluffy tale about teen angst. This book, although laced with bits of sarcastic humor, was dark and serious. Think Juno without the cute, spunky girl and you’re left with a realistic portrayal of a girl struggling to be... "

“I used to be nice, but nice was boring. Nice hadn’t gotten me anywhere.”
Lisa Burstein, Pretty Amy

“Ginny yelled through her megaphone as we worked, telling us to view the trash we picked up as a gathering of all the souls we affected with our drug use. To see each piece as one more person who forgave us.
I picked up an empty box of adult diapers and wondered who that was supposed to be.”

Melissa Hi Lisa -- thanks for the friend request! I love The Handmaid's Tale too! Have you read Unwind by Neal Stephenson (sp?). It left me with the same can't-stop-thinking-about-this-book aftertaste, but it's YA.
