  <default_description>Welcome to Jessica's world...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When Jessica Zorich met a tall, charismatic artist at a San Francisco party, her life had been all about coping: with a baffling and dangerous world, with a mostly inane job, and with a sweet but meandering relationship with her upstairs neighbor. But Josh Hadden doesn't cope: he's a man of action, of big visions, and of relationships that span the globe; a man certain of his passions, politics, art, and desire. And what Josh desires most is Jessica - at a time when being desired might be the most desirable thing of all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In this daring, mesmerizing debut, a novel that brilliantly captures the angst of a generation, Jessica gives herself over to an erotic, reckless relationship with a man guarding deep secrets - and to a perfect storm of lust, doubt, joy, and fear. Now, against her better judgment, she is following Josh into his mystifying life and brilliant, dizzying work, where she will find out how much she has been missing, how far she has yet to go, and what the price of this intoxicating adventure will be.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I got so sucked into this book by the breezy, fun tone, then it turned serious in a way I did NOT expect.  Josh was so manipulative, but really Jessica was too, and when I realized I was sympathizing with her that way it made me mad.  When I finished, I couldn't stop thinking about it for a few days...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35885292">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mr. Klomparens creates a version of San Fransisco that feels like when I dream about it. It's like I'm there, and I know it, but it's different. And like a dream, you don't know if it's going to be good or bad, and maybe you wake up and wonder if it really happened for a moment.

    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting story.  I'm not sure how to describe it. I wish this was a book club book, I really wanted to discuss the character relationships.<br/><br/>My first thought is that it was an odd book, story and character wise.  I feel like there is a bigger message that I did not quite gra...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37964233">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It started out 'ok'.  I loved the relationship between Jessica and Patrick and was hoping that would last a little longer.  When Jessica met Josh I felt like the plot was building to something great and shocking, yet it never did.  I kept waiting for it and waiting for it, but it never happened.  <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43122051">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[read this for the Columbus Book Club's February meeting.  Between 3 and 4 stars, I went with 3 because I can't say I will ever read it again necessarily.  I think the writing was great and the characterizations were wonderful.  I enjoyed how he told much of his story in dialogue.  But at the end I a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42378453">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting, sometimes intense, and almost poignant page-turner about the life of a twenty-something woman figuring out her life in a post-911 world. The author did an impressive job of writing in a woman's voice, although some of the dialogue was awkward.
