I'm glad you loved this one too. It's definitely not something anyone can read, but I think it's important to realize WHY the swearing, the sex, the "non-squeaky" elements are there. At any rate, I recommend Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert if you haven't already read it.<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-67907499089692964942012-09-10T10:33:16.479-06:002012-09-10T10:33:16.479-06:00Oh, I love posts that remind me that I NEED to rea...Oh, I love posts that remind me that I NEED to read THE DUFF.
