hippilil86: White Oleander is my favorite book ever. I introduced our fellow Ledgie Marissa to it and I got her obsessed, too. Janet Fitch is absolutely mindblowing.

I just love it! The music is great, and the story just feels so real to me. It may be 6 people sitting around talking for 2 hours, but to me, it feels like real life.
