"I first read this when I was a young girl, way before I had ever had any real romance of my own.... but Kathy’s speech to her maid Nellie about her love for Heathcliff always stayed with me: “Nelly, I AM Heathcliff—he’s always, always in my mind—not as a pleasure, any more then I am always a pleasure to myself—but, as my own being.” It’s still for me the most passionate and fatalistic novel about romantic love."

A great rainy day read :)
I enjoyed this debut novel by Mary A. Felkins. I thought that both Tracey and Tom were well-rounded characters and I liked getting to know their individual stories. Both characters had some real-life applicable struggles and I liked how Mary A. Felkins had the characters overcome them.
The plot was good and kept me interested and engaged throughout the whole book. I thought that there were some interesting points made and some quotable moments

"Back in high school, my best friend gave me a tattered paperback of Boy Wonder by the late/great James Robert Baker. We’d been into making movies, writing stories, and living imaginatively since kindergarten, and this gonzo, out-of-print novel about a young-madman-turned-Hollywood-super-producer had it all. Boy Wonder is the perfect summer read, a fount of crazed inspiration, laugh-out-loud funny, and to this day, one of the most seminal reading experiences I’ve had."
