I would like to read this one is mine. Your review was quite good. I don’t normally like books with superficial characters, but this one sounds like they evolve into something much deeper.

Normally I would go with Jennifer Weiner but this time I would love a chance to read This One Is Mine by Maria Semple. I’ve read great reviews about it and I always like to discover a “new to me” author.
Thanks for the chance.
