Because really, what else could have gone on the cover of a book about a man and his dog? HA. <br /><br />I completely understand what you're saying about the language and the storyline. BOTH are beautiful, but I definitely got caught up in how she told her story as much as what was going on. I haven't read You Are My Only, but I definitely want to check out more of Ms. Kephart's books. <br /><br />Yes. I think you would like this too.

But I th...Okay, I remember Heather loving this one. But I think I judged the cover, albeit for different reasons. I didn't like the oranges. (these quirks are gonna be my doing-in one day)<br /><br />I have read one of Beth Kephart's other books before and I found the language to be the thing I loved most about it, even more than the story itself. Not that the story was not good - I don't mean it like that - I'm just saying that sometimes a beautiful language or beautiful writing is a drawing point for me. So for the BOTH of you that I trust so completely to make so much of her language in THIS book, I certainly need to read it. The story does sound 'quiet' much like the other one I read (You Are My Only) and sometimes I really like that. <br /><br />Great review Lauren. I liked that you and Heather both loved this one.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book, I know how much of a fan you are of beautiful writing (clearly, since you are such a fan of Maggie S.!) and of subtle, quiet romances (The Scorpio Races!) And I love how you focused more on Kenzie's filmaking, that's something I didn't really do in my review, but it was an aspect I loved about the book too. Who am I kidding, I LOVE everything about this book:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-8744635690899457412012-09-17T12:21:09.720-04:002012-09-17T12:21:09.720-04:00Yes, I would love to be back in Kenzie's world...Yes, I would love to be back in Kenzie's world:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-33965895110138058472012-09-17T09:15:32.595-04:002012-09-17T09:15:32.595-04:00Sometimes I tell myself stories of what Kenzie is ...Sometimes I tell myself stories of what Kenzie is doing now.
