wow! what a fast read. Yes, I'm hooked. I love your writing and the way your wisdom is revealed in tiny revelations. I always feel like I'm experiencing it with you. In awe of the courage it takes to be so open to the universe.

Damn, I can't wait to read the rest! It reminds me a little of The Reapers are the Angels. You're writing style is awesome!

Love it! Like others said, you pull the reader in and I am right there and seeing everything that you describe. Can't wait for the whole book. You are a gifted writer. I loved your memoir.

You write so well. I can see it all! I read the earlier edition (last year? the year before? time...) and was pulled into Bets’ story then. There’s hope amidst the desolation, which right now is quite comforting, thank you very much. Looking forward to reading the whole book!

Nice start! I'm reading two other books right now, and during the day this was the character I wanted to come back to. And then I remembered - oh wait, I can't! Looking forward to seeing it published and getting to continue along!

Omg omg, I loooved the draft of this book that you sent me last year but this is EVEN BETTER and now I must read THE WHOLE THING IMMEDIATELY, gah!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME

This part in particular is just absolute gold:

"They consider themselves brilliant because they found a finite thing that had not yet been depleted and they depleted it. They were first at the finishing line at the race to the end of the world."

Thank u Nicole !!! You were very smart to publish yr first chapter *when the book was actually available* I was just feeling zany and tryin to feel something but hopefully someday the whole thing will be in the world! Also if you were patient enough for the mess of that earlier draft I sent you, you are going to LOVE the more edited version ha ha

Saw this in my email when I woke up this morning. I thought I would read a few sentences and come back to the rest later. Dang, totally sucked in. Now, I’m late for work. You continue to amaze me with how much one person can do with their life.
