Love the “sneak peak” into the novel. It sounds like that “diary” would be a very interesting read.
Thanks, Heather. Not a novel, though. Real diary. My actual life.
I notice you called The Casual Vacancy a masterpiece on Goodreads.
I reviewed the book chapter-by-chapter on my blog, including quotes when appropriate. I wonder what you would think of that?

The Casual Vacancy was my favourite book of last year, Kirk. Wow, that is some dedicated reviewing you’ve done there :-)
