"Lenny Marks is excellent at not having a life. She bikes home from work at exactly 4pm each day, buys the same groceries for the same meals every week, and owns thirty-six copies of The Hobbit (currently arranged by height). The closest thing she has to a friendship is playing Scrabble against an imaginary Monica Gellar while watching Friends reruns. And Lenny Marks is very, very good at not remembering what happened the day her mother and stepfather disappeared when she was still a child. The day a voice in the back of her mind started whispering, You did this. Until a letter from the parole board arrives in the mail--and when her desperate attempts to ignore it fail, Lenny starts to unravel. As long-buried memories come to the surface, Lenny's careful routines fall apart. For the first time, she finds herself forced to connect with the community around her, and unexpected new relationships begin to bloom. Lenny Marks may finally get a life-but what if her past catches up to her first? Equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming, Kerryn Mayne's stunning debut is an irresistible novel about truth, secrets, vengeance, and family lost and found, with a heroine who's simply unforgettable"--

I�m not a huge fan of character driven plots. Usually, the characters cannot keep me interested. However, this is the one where I fell fast and hard for a character that is the odd girl out, the socially inept, and is as complicated as they come. Obviously I�ve been reading about the wrong type of characters in my previous books.
Lenny pulled me into her world the first time she turned her teapot three times and from that moment forward, she felt as real as any character ever could. While much of Lenny�s story was mysterious, heartbreaking and her personality at times resembling myself or someone I know, this book was layered with moments that made me smile and even more that had me cheering her on.
I cannot believe this is Ms. Mayneââ?¬â?¢s debut novel. It is pure genius and I found myself rereading it as soon as I finished it. It still plays in my mind at random times and if ever there were a story that should be used for the ââ?¬Å"big screenââ?¬Â?, it is this one. The one where the world fell in love with Lenny Marks.
