So...the weather has been great and my deck chair was calling. I read 3 books this last week... I KNOW! CRAZY! Oh yeah, and BSC is over. A new author (to me anyway) Shanna Mahaffey has done a remarkable job with a book called "Sounds Like Crazy." It is the story of a waitress (yay) in New York city who has 5 people living inside her head. She ends up getting fired (again) from her waitress job and getting voice over work. I have to adnit I was a little resistent to pick this one up because I was so traumatized at age 11 by reading "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" and of course who wasn't mesmerized and a little freaked out by "Cybil!" I could not put this book down. The characters fascinating and I couldn't wait to find out the impetus for her DID. Thankfully I found it more tender than horrifying and was grateful there wasn't horrendous torture, or worse, involved. This would be AN AMAZING! book for a book club discusson...so many things to delve into! A Book Club dedicated to pursuing better reading, great discussions, and ongoing friendships!
