    Here’s a case where the one-star reviewer was correct. Creepy book.

    I can’t believe you didn’t use MY review! I’ve waited forever to see if you would. Come on, “love you forever, stalk you for always” is golden. golden, I tell ya.

      Ha! I definitely missed the boat – I agree that that’s come one-star gold. Well, at least your quote can be here in the comments!
