Initially, I did not consider reviewing it at all. I did that, and either they did not read it or they read what I wrote and somehow decided that it would still help their cause if I were to review this new novel. The publisher of her last book, It Chooses You, requested that I send them my review once it was published. I did not request a review copy and if I had, I would not have expected to receive it.

And yet it is Clee-the selfish, cruel blond bombshell-who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime. When Cheryl's bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl's eccentrically ordered world explodes.
She believes they've been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the women's self-defense nonprofit where she works. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other people's babies. "Here is Cheryl, a tightly-wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat.
