ByRachel January 7, 2015 2 Comments
Ever fallen so in love with a book that you could literally see every moment? You smell the smell of each location, feel the temperature of the air, hear the specific pitch of every voice saying every line? People like us should not watch book-to-movies.

But now events are escalating, and I have to write it all down to try and make sense of it. On Monday, a detective visited our office. Yes, you heard right.
