awakeTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.
You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

One comment - the first part of the book I was actually getting annoyed at the "coffee coffee coffee" ugh, I thought, has it come to this? are we really distilling characters down to some few traits and letting go?
I should have had more faith.
There was so much speaking of coffee, that I was surprised that I didn't notice it was gone. I was just happy, relieved it was gone. I could breathe again and move onto the more pressing issues. But then when it was brought up, because her addiction had replaced everything else ... I could immediately recognize the vacuum that had been created. I was probably put into a (much weaker, fainter version) similar mindset of the surprise that Toby had in realizing that she hadn't even thought about coffee since the pie.
Possibly still a little clumsily done, I would have preferred never to have been annoyed, but still masterfully woven.
I have lots of other things to say about the novel itself, but that small piece really made me think.
