A Note on “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing”
As I’ve said, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing” is one of those books that you can’t put down, but you also kind of don’t want to keep on reading because it’s such a frustrating read. A lot of times I find myself scratching my head whenever he’d talk about the nth time he’d…
