Melissa Walker’s new novel had an uphill battle with me.
You see, it managed to remind me of The Worst Earworm Ever. During my sophomore year of Professional Nerding School (aka college at American University), Toni Braxton’s Un-Break My Heart was everywhere I turned. I’d hear it playing on MTV in the dorm lounge, on the radio in the cafeteria, blasting on “boomboxes” (yep, we still had those in the nineties)… everywhere.
Toni’s soulful crooning* drove me nuts for months on end.
However, don’t let this book fool you like it did me.
