Quite a jewel

I really enjoyed reading Ms.Doenges' book. I thought it a gritty, gutsy,honest and strong novel, but there was a gentleness, too, a patience that wrapped itself around me as I read it. A feeling behind it that said "All things will unfold in time." Robin,unlike so many teenagers,works her way patiently to satisfy her desires and thus remains true to herself always;and strong, perhaps the most stable character in the book. The Most Beautiful Girl in the World sparkles with wit, each character a precious jewel.
