The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake: A Novel
by Aimee Bender
Don't get it? (9/16/2010)
Wanted to read this book for some time, have seen it on top book lists for a while. It is very weird and I only finished it because I thought I may have been missing some part of the story. The end was worse than the other three-quarters. Learned my lesson...no more "best sellers for me". Terrible read.
