Or am I just reading it funny? How can "she" be telling us about a car she hasn't noticed yet? That sort of thing would bug me if it happened very much. Although, I am more forgiving on the first page or two since there's awkwardness in getting stories and view points started.Joy Weese Mollhttp://www.joyweesemoll.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-47534597515268891402011-08-16T16:26:40.409-04:002011-08-16T16:26:40.409-04:00The Stranger You Seek looked really good to me, bu...The Stranger You Seek looked really good to me, but I am always up for a really good thriller.
