I have read this book three times and bought it as gifts for many of my friends. If you are looking for something fast-paced, adventurous, warm and funny- look no more. This book has it all. You'll find yourself having trouble putting it down!

Year of Full Moons

~This book is at times strange, confusing and increadably infuriating and at times sweet and even joyful. This certainly wouldn't be a story I would give to my parents to make them understand better about me being a lesbian, and it does contain some sex so I wouldn't recommend it to kids, either. The language is at times really confusing but I found it better towards the end (I'm not exactly sure whether I myself got used to it, or it's just that the first chapters were written with a lot less~~ experience than the latter ones). Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this book since even beyond all her cynicism the heroine still had the sort of excuse I guess for her darkened vision of this world and she showed times and times again that she can be quite tender and loving.~
