This is a good story about the link between a girl and her dog. A little suspension of disbelief is needed, but I don't mind. A good twisting, turning story full of the unexpected. I still have about 100 pages to go, and wonder where it is going.

Mehso-so

This was interesting enough to keep me going, though much of it was a bit too contrived for my taste. Still, it offered a different perspective on the special relationship between a girl and her dog, and a light enough read to take my mind off the tail end of this migraine.
