Reality is Not Reality TV

Karin Kallmaker 09/14/2009 Craft of Writing, LIFE + STYLE, Readers and Libraries

    ...The star of the show was Paris, I finished the book with a rather big crush on her. She was quiet, sweet and a little butch with a big heart. Honestly, she was the whole delicious package.
