I am sending this book off to another Bookcrosser as a RABCK!! Enjoy!!
Apologies for the underlining in this book and notes in the margin. I read it for a book club and wanted to keep track of keep points. At the time, I didn't think I was going to share Nasty Women.

Arrived today, thanks so much, I'm looking forward to it! And I don't mind the underlining/margin notes at all, they give a book a little extra character!
