| I really liked the premise. And I liked Phoebe most of the time. And came to like Jim. But the rest? Not so much. Characters were either annoying or bland. (I'll let you decide who met which criteria) As an academic ex-pat, much of Phoebe's experienc ...more | |

| This is a situation where I wish I could buy copies of a book in bulk and give them away to people in need. I love that a) the author identifies as first-gen to college and b) uses the book to dispel myths and to dispel the hidden curriculum about pu ...more | |

“The only answer to this, and it isn't an entire answer, said Father Travis, is that God made human beings free agents. We are able to choose good over evil, but the opposite too.
