Children of God Go Bowling door Shannon Olson

Felt like quick, amusing reading through most of it, which is a good set up for the end. It gets better the more I think about it.

Maybe this was supposed to the the American version of "Bridget Jones" but it fell rather flat for me. Shanny can be very funny at times but she never seems to take anything very seriously. I am really not sure what made her so dissatisfied with her life.… (meer)
