One of the books I read last month was Piper Parish. Unfortunately it didn't hit the soy for me. I had a hard time getting into the flow of the writing style. It was so overwritten that I found myself getting anxious for it to move on. I couldn't connect with Piper either. Normally I find a kindred spirit is artist characters. They're usually my people. But I found Piper kinda whiny and annoying. It's too bad, I was looking forward to it!
