Pitched as [x] [Sthg book club, w/ depth & growth] meets [y] [Sthg spicy! But not gratuitous], a poignant [Too much?], emotionally rich, heartfelt, smart and sexy [Word salad? But it’s all there! Let’s also weave in it’s funny.

Soph was born in a barn, but soon spread her wings to roam the forests at night. She now lives at the top of a tower and collects mice (well, their bones).
