					<description><![CDATA[Reviews Done Quick My Lovely Wife will twist your mind and give you whiplash. I love a good domestic thriller, but Samantha Downing&#8217;s book was unhinged. The book had good pacing and snappy dialogue. Unfortunately, the characters were underdeveloped and unlikable. Therefore, despite the plot keeping me on the edge of my seat, I really [&#8230;]]]></description>

The Book &#160; The Beverage:  I&#8217;ve been reading The Calamity Club while I eat breakfast. That means I&#8217;ve been reading Kathryn Stockett&#8217;s new novel alongside a cup of coffee with caramel creamer. The [&#8230;]]]></description>
