I finished Heartsick yesterday. Pretty dang dark, and not just the serial killer character! I made note to self that coupling this with recent reading of Gone Girl and The Talented Mr. Ripley has tended to add a certain grim gritty seasoning to my reading life. Not to mention recent read of The Wisdom of Psychopaths - maybe I need help!

But Dharma Girl, started last night, is certainly off on an entirely different footing, reeling me back from that grittiness. As well it should since it is more in the memoir category. I am greatly enjoying it so far.
