The title of “Maid Mary Anne” confused me a bit. Mary Anne is struggling with the fact that she thinks she’s self-centered.

Hounded by Kevin Hearne {Stephanie’s Review}

Reading this book was a lot of second hand embarrassment. Eventually Stacey figured it out. This review is purposely short because….YIKES. I really like this one…until the end. Wandering around a well maintained […]
