lucky


"Gruesome and strangely enchanting...A controlled and meticulous account..."

This quote from Newsday drew me in as I ran my fingers over the glossy bookcovers while passing time today in the student bookstore between morning classes. I have heard many things about this memoir by Alice Sebold. "lucky." is her account of her rape as a college freshman. I am intrigued by first hand accounts of tragedy and recovery. I am just starting to read this memoir, but trust me...in the days to come I will be reviewing parts of this book. I'm sure of it.
Sadly, this kind of hits home with me. I will write more later. Class is about to start, and I can't delve in as much as I would like to at this hour.
*air kisses and non-fat tall venti lattes to you all*
