Book Review: ALL MY RESTLESS LIFE TO LIVE BY DEE DETARSIO

Format: Kindle, Paperback 360 pages Average rating: 3.94 Our rating: 3.5 out of 5 Literary awards: Nominee for Next Generation Indie Book award ('13) & The San Diego book awards ('13) Buy it here: Amazon | Barnes & Noble  | As with any other review copy, I start off slow, read every page carefully, highlight favourites and bits that I think need changing... but not with this one.

A definite must!) So there I was, basking in the glorious sun, burning through the pages like there's no tomorrow.
