Promises, promises, promises

If you read my book, you will be younger, smarter, thinner, better-looking and your teeth will be whiter. You will be more a more successful lover, mother, brother, father, etc.

Your car will run more smoothly.

Your body odor will diminish. Your cakes will rise higher. Your soufflé's will be fluffier and your whites will be whiter. You will leave a sparking path of glitter behind you wherever you go.

Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. I mean, who leaves a trail of sparkling glitter?

Oh, I know! Shaina does. And if that isn't enough, there's her profile pic tagline, "I'm not a lesbian, but I'm a big fan," and on top of that, here's what she had to say about my book:

I read possibly the coolest book ever Harvey & Eck by ... Erin O'Brien. She's hilarious. Her book is amazing. It's the story of a woman called Harvey, who, in the depths of despair, decides to write an anonymous letter to a man whose name she picks out of a phone book. Her life, and his, changes drastically due to her letters, and it's fascinating and fun and heartbreaking to watch. I was enthralled, to put it simply.

I know a book is awesome when I start thinking like and wanting to speak like the characters, and after reading only fifty pages (I had to stop and do some real work, but I didn't wanna). I could sense myself thinking and writing like Eck, but at the same time I could effortlessly switch my mind and writing and speaking to be like Harvey's. That's how good these characters are.

Thanks Shaina! I love you and I daresay the lesbians do to.
