And to also read this book. :) I quite enjoyed Pivot Point and am eager to see a new side of West's writing through this novel. Like you mentioned, I also think it's awesome that this book features a non-upper- or middle-class citizen, even if she still is white. Wonderful review, Christina! I can't wait to read this one.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-21798621778475696782013-07-08T23:07:01.801-04:002013-07-08T23:07:01.801-04:00Ugh I am dying to read this bookUgh I am dying to read this bookAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303683333028066002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-62765245921245051352013-07-04T21:57:19.076-04:002013-07-04T21:57:19.076-04:00Like I told you,I JUST found out that Pivot Point ...Like I told you,I JUST found out that Pivot Point was finally shipped.

Caymen's mom drove me a little nuts, but not too bad. This is one of those books that I need to get a finished copy of. I already have passed on my ARC because I wanted to spread the love and awesomeness of this book!!

OMG it's out today? hmm a trip to the bookstore is definitely needed then. Although, I don't even know why I am bothering to get excited my city freaking sucks and nowhere actually has books on their release day. You have to wait like a week to get the book that you want. Which is annoying and has led me to want to boycott Chapters, but that never lasts long because I'm like a crack addict with the books.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-84585684849636827372013-07-02T11:43:40.288-04:002013-07-02T11:43:40.288-04:00YES!
