Now I love eggs as much as the next person but these extra eggs will be a problem, they will sit awkwardly if not haphazardly in said carton, they could slip and slide all over the fridge, basically fucked up my day these extra eggs, they have. 17 eggs will not fit in an egg carton that houses a dozen. Imagine if you have an egg carton that holds a dozen eggs, but you have 17 eggs. Some of the sentences have like 50 words in them, but they are not conveying a lot of info, they are just extremely wordy. Words are great, but they are free and no one will ever take them from you, you do not need to use ALL of the words that ever were in your book. No the most annoying girl ever, who gets dumped at the alter, which after 90 pages you question why he asked her in the first place? Why?Īny way this author also seems to like to use lots of words. But bizarrely, as the summer progresses, her eccentric but lovable relatives give her the courage to make choices based on what she wants, not what she wants to avoid. Her answer, born of desperation: move in with her crazy, widowed mother - who Ginger claims sucks the life force out of every creature within one city block of her - and her grandmother, who spends much of her day engaged in heated arguments with her dead husband. Īnd the spiral continues: her cozy little sublet (really, she liked having her shower in the kitchen) is about to be yanked away, and the prestigious little design firm where she works is about to go belly-up. When was the last time she'd seen him? She'd better not leave town. And her trip to hell in a handbasket was about to escalate.Īt the door: Nick, Ginger's 'first.' Only, he's a police officer now, and he wants to find out what she knows about her M.I.A. So here she sat, alone in her cramped apartment, wedding crinolines askew, drowning her sorrows in a hundred-dollar bottle of Veuve Cliquot, when her doorbell rang. In the space of a few hours, thirty-year-old Ginger Petrocelli had gone from bride-to-be to bride-who-never-was.
