I wasn’t sure if you were mixed up or kind of trolling people or what. I actually went and looked it up and thought to myself “did I read so fast over some small mention that I missed that information?”

I don’t think this is the same book I read. The book never mentions her father and the house sitting thing isn’t in the Eleanor Oliphant version I read.

No reasons mean no chance to try and change your mind or talk you out of “reason”.

Thank you. I will look for that book.
Your paraphrase of the quote is succinct and easily understood. It should be embroidered on stuff.

Middle grades novel series are extremely predictable. That might be more your cup of tea. Babysitter club, sweet valley high, etc.

Reply to comment by snoosh00 in LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it. by Needleroozer
In 1999, my husband was able to go into our new construction and install CAT5 for the whole place. It would’ve cost us like $18,000 at the time to get it done but he knew what he was doing. He got permi$$ion from the contractor and brought two cases of beer for the workers the day he did it. Two days later they call them back and said “hey we accidentally cut one of your wires. Come fix it before we put up the sheet rock.” I guarantee you the beer is why they paid attention to those wires and saved us from trying to figure out what the hell had gone wrong.
