Hey Toni, I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but Caren Lissner has a previous novel out, entitled "Carrie Pilby".

Although, you linked to her blog, so you probably already knew that. Nevermind! :)

I've read both Square Two and Carrie Pilby. I liked both and they are completely different - Carrie Pilby is my favorite.

I had somehow forgotten that she had the other one, though. I'm glad y'all reminded me... I'm off to order it now. Thanks.

Thanks so much! That was a great write-up, and you really got the point, that Hallie and Erika are grieving for losses, too (missed opportunities, as you put it.) Some people just dislike them without realizing that they've been hurt, too, just in different ways. Hope you like Carrie Pilby!
