Debbie's Throwback Review Highlight
But sometimes, there comes along a book that throws you for a loop, on a deeply personal level. I knew something in the book would touch a nerve; I just wasn't prepared for how much it would affect me, and how I viewed someone very close to me.
A book that spawns a brand new shelf on Goodreads, called Masterpieces, with this being the inaugural book to that shelf, in March 2018. A shelf that carries only 13 books in 8 years.
