It paints a great picture of how people can totally misunderstand other people's feelings and motives.

Right now I'm reading Rachel Held Evans' memoir Evolving in Monkey Town; it's really good, but the title is so strange that I can't imagine having given it a 2nd glance either if someone hadn't lent it to me. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting!Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590153368194137758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-12151827335874020442014-03-15T11:21:02.702-04:002014-03-15T11:21:02.702-04:00Yes, I'm sure my daughter & I (who's a...Yes, I'm sure my daughter & I (who's also read The Fault in Our Stars) will be going to the movie too!
