Suicide Blonde

With today's sunshine, all I wanted to do was go to MacLeod's. I realized this book was why. I've never heard of Darcey Steinke, but I picked the book out of the piles instantly and could not have found a story that I can relate to more. Particularly those moments when you become acutely aware of yourself in the manifestation of your suffering.

This description of her boyfriend I thought was particularly interesting
