About the author

A dedicated daydreamer, over-educated underachiever, and occasional adventurer born in Manhattan, Mallory Path has eaten snow from the top of a glacier in New Zealand, been mistaken for a prostitute at King's Cross in London, and fallen into a canal in Amsterdam. These days, Mal has settled into life across the bay from San Francisco. When not at her dream job with an adult entertainment company or writing love stories and erotica, Mal passes the time cuddling her dwarf hamsters, taking naps, and planning extensive trips around the world she can no longer afford. A reformed compulsive liar, Mal promises only one of the things in this bio is a fabrication.

I'm sad to say that this was a disappointing read. I was expecting a well-rounded story, which is not at all what I got. The character's thoughts are confusing and their interactions leave much to be desired.

But, then again, it could just be me and the my particular reading style.

This one I just didn;t get. It's very well written, very poetic, but I couldn't understand the point the author was trying to make. Entirely my failing, not hers!
