Dear Ms. Kleypas: I am a big fan of your writing and even when you announced the move into mystical realism, I was undeterred in my fandom. Yes, the magical realism was so light as to be unnecessary in the previous work and yes it wasn’t well integrated into the story but I enjoyed the(…)

Dear Ms. Quinn: Confession time. I don’t remember much about The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever. I vaguely remember Olivia, best friend of Miranda, younger sister of the hero but her flavor wasn’t with me when I started What Happens in London. I don’t know if that is good or bad but I highly(…)
