The characters are all on the list of pros so I can tell the characters are done well. And I love the sound of the use of the word 'folk'. Your examples are already hilarious so I'm so ready to read about more.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-64000503145291057512018-06-18T19:50:12.092-04:002018-06-18T19:50:12.092-04:00I love quirky things, and the quirks in this book ...I love quirky things, and the quirks in this book were fairly original.

They were actually pretty content in their own little world, and all the characters were pretty quirky. I just didn't feel Jane was the typical MPDG, and the story is about more than her romance with Ray, which developed quite slowly. It was about friendship, and how other's are affected by mental illness even when they aren't the ones, who are mentally ill.

It sounds like a really incredible read! Milk and vampires? Carnivorous cows? I also enjoy books that bounce between the past and present before finally revealing an event that happened. The anticipation is always so intense! How to Love by Katie Cotugno comes to mind.<br /><br /><br />Lovely review, Sam! I'm sure I'll need a box of tissues for this one. <3<br />L @ <a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Do You Dog-ear?</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-25136511870882084722018-06-15T10:43:37.633-04:002018-06-15T10:43:37.633-04:00It was.

About Jane and about the "event." It seems like this one tackles some serious topics but also keeps it light with plenty of humor. Love that.
