the parker grey show

Dear Kristen Buckley,

I read your book. I have to admit, it was nothing like I thought it would be.

I thought it would be light, entertaining in that "20-something Girl Who Needs Help with Her Dating Life/Finances/Crazy Family" way, like all those others I can't seem to stop acquiring. I thought it would be good.

But it wasn't.

It was fucking awesome!

You realize, you only sent it to me 48 hours ago and I've been finished reading it for 12. Couldn't put it down. Missed my bus stop twice in one day.

I have some questions, though. If I may?

1. Does Parker have curly hair? I realize this is trite, but I've yet to meet a straight-haired gal who can get away with dirty, but amazing looking hair.

2. Do you play a musical instrument? Is there some sort of parallel to be drawn from Parker's talent to your own? Which leads me to:

3. How much of Parker is you? 'Cause she's so fucking awesome in that What in God's Name is Going On in Your Head kinda way. And depending on that answer,

4. Girl, can we be friends? 'Cause really, you rock.

Much fondness and fan-like adoration,

H

It won't be out until July from what I understand, but BUY it! Order it from Amazon now if you won't remember then. It's quality.

Then how'dju get it?

My original comment was: Her significant other is Brian Regan! Have you ever seen this guy?? He's awesome! And I'm so glad he sold a movie script! More power to him! He's excellent.

And, from what you've said, so's she. I guess that's why they're together.

Thanks for the recommendation, Fish! I'll put it on my list for summer reading.

Sounds like the key to writing success is to learn to play the guitar and have a gas-cloud emitting dog. I'm halfway there!

Always great to have an exuberant recommendation! I’m reading “See Jane Date” and it doesn’t really stand out for me. The Parker Grey Show website is cool – you should be under “What bloggers are saying”. Thanks! You are always a great read!

I haven't gotten mine yet! (Post office guy couldn't fit it into my tiny mailbox... yeesh that's pornographic sounding...) Anyway, really looking forward to finally getting it now! =)

Thank God for Amazon, especially with Father's Day coming.
