![]() ![]() There is love in her writing, true love, the kind of love you only find once in a lifetime. There is something honest about Garden’s writing style, some truth that’s in her words and wants to be heard. What I certainly didn’t know, was how deeply this book would actually touch me. I knew all this and it intrigued me enough to give the book a decent shot. I knew this book was published about 36 years ago and that Nancy Garden is a lesbian. I mean I knew ”Annie on My Mind” is an f/f romance and that it wasn’t only banned from school libraries but also publicly burned at some point. Oh my! This book hit me with so many different feels I didn’t even understand what was happening to me. ![]() ![]() ”Have you ever felt really close to someone?

The sisters in this book were something else I liked reading about, especially since each sister narrated. I fully intend to read the other e-books in The Rachel O’Brien Chronicles one of these days - I may not want to hang out with some of the people Rachael hangs out with, but I do like reading about them all so much I’ll look into more by Paisley Ray. ![]() “Razzle” seems like a girl I’d want to hang out with, but I’d probably pass on any road-trips or parties or road-trips to parties that involve Bridget or Nash. When I wrote my last book review, I wasn’t too impressed with the book I was currently reading on my Kindle to the point I was wondering if I just didn’t like e-reading, but I’m happy to report Deep Fried and Pickled was so much better than Nick Damon’s Shadow of Oz.

After I read it, I realised one question kept coming up from people curious about the book: what myths does it cover? What stories are in Mythos? Mythos by Stephen Fry is my second venture into texts about Greek myths. Giant ancient poems I would never pick up on my own. Later, the professor introduced Theogony by Hesiod, a poem about the Greek gods. The first lesson was on Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey. ![]() My official introduction to Greek mythology was an online course by Wesleyan University titled ‘The Ancient Greeks’. “Then Hercules captured the Cretan Bull…,” came the muffled sounds of his voice. If I went to the toilet, he would follow me and continue reciting his story outside the door. He could spend hours telling me about the creation myth or Hercules’ twelve labours. ![]() My unofficial introduction to Greek mythology was through my brother, who read the Percy Jackson series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is not supposed to happen in real life.

I guess ripping your napkins in half paid off.” Wheeling my suitcase in one hand, holding the house key poised for immediate lock insertion in the other, I look back over my shoulder to find life returning to Jude’s boyishly handsome features. My toes are already wiggling in anticipation of digging into the sand while the New England sun bakes my skin north of translucent and most importantly of all, my baby brother gets a change of scenery to recover from his heartbreak.

I also loved the way the author portrayed Claire's daughter, even if she was a bit on the whiny side. The main character, Claire, had an extremely hilarious, dry sense of humor that I loved and the potential love interest did also. ![]() However, I have like five books in this series on my shelves and I need the space so I read it to see if I hated it all the way through. I had started reading this soon after I first got it almost a year ago but I soon lost interest.
