The memory theme was what moved it from commonplace to something truly special.Jo @ Booklover Book Reviewshttp://www.bookloverbookreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258224106731736323.post-77997556388328963662012-12-17T20:59:17.326-05:002012-12-17T20:59:17.326-05:00I meant to say at 1:30 this morning I was sending ...I meant to say at 1:30 this morning I was sending emails!

Despite it being a favourite I agree that it has faults. I agree that it could probably have been edited down a bit and I agree that there were a few too many coincidences, but in the end it was so good I'm willing to forgive it. Glad you could too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.com
