It is a really good book. Goodreads has a few mixed reviews on it, but the story really flows well. Honestly,I could read it one day if I let myself. Have you found that library yet?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I will try next week. A cold front came and the weather was freezing with wild winds. Now it is warm again so I'll have time to walk.

Absolutely, especially if I were the go-getter; and my sibling was a slouch.

I'm not much of a go-getter myself, but it'd have to depend on the business I think.

Maybe you've read it before? I am not sure when the author wrote it. It could also be that the character sounds familiar, I am sure there are lots of books and movies that have similar plots to this.

@rakski Oh I see. I guess you must have heard of this then as those two names together are very rare.
