Ha! I was shelf-browsing at work (aka "reshelving some books") and grabbed this on a pretty-cover whim. I got about twenty, thirty pages in before I dropped it and went on to something better, and I forgot all about it until now. I'm sorry that you read the whole thing and it was disappointing!

(Also, I seem to remember finding the author bio-blurb a bit grating, but I must've drunk enough wine in the intervening time to block it out. Yay!)
