That explains a lot! I thought “Now that she’s a world famous author, she’s dissing the columns!” lol
Oh BTW…I raved about your book so much, my local library got it!

Thank you, Jan and Diane, I’m so glad that you liked it!!

And thanks for telling me specifically which parts you enjoyed. (That’s been one of my favorite things so far, hearing which characters and lines people liked best.)

sigh………….I am done with it…………..loved it. Just loved it. I don’t want to give away anything for those who have not yet read it, but it was my kind of ending ….I could keep gushing, but will stop now .

Thanks Rainbow for writing “Attachments”. Wish I had bought a hard copy now, instead of on my Nook as I can’t loan it out easily to others. Big drawback of the Nook I guess. Not being able to give books to someone else.

Lunchables are just processed foods that looks cute. Don’t be deceived, make your own healthy cute foods for your kid.

Rainbow,
I found your book on display at our Gillette, WY library and actually missed a day of work because I couldn’t put it down. When I read your description of the newsroom with its long row of windows, I thought of the OWH (where I worked from 1978 -1985). The descriptions of the breakroom, IT and the employee turnstile took me right back into that building–through the revolving front door. You captured the management philosophy in a way that made me laugh aloud and think ‘this girl’s been in the OWH!’ I turned to the inside back book jacket to see if you had some OWH connection and couldn’t believe my eyes. Thanks for a delightful trip down memory lane.
Loved the Omaha area references; what a delight to recall the Dundee Theatre and the Ranch Bowl from my school days, not to mention those beautiful old apartment buildings on the gold coast.
I’m letting my 8th-grader read your book as an example of how love stories don’t need explicit sexual content to make you feel the characters’ relationship, how profanity can be effective in moderation and in character, and generally how very good writing can draw you in and make you want to be a better friend and person.
This book is a raging success in my opinion. Don’t make us wait 7 more years for your next one.

Loved your book, Rainbow! It was auto-delivered to my Kindle Thursday morning, and I read it as I traveled to a conference in PA that day. I finished it the same night, but I’ve probably re-read the last few chapters 6X. Pathetic, I know The pre-release praise for your book was impressive — and is well deserved. Looking forward to your next book. Congratulations! Omaha is very proud of you!

Wow, an endorsement from Jodi Picoult, my favorite author. Rainbow, you rock! I am ordering your book from Amazon today. I read the OWH almost daily, and didn’t hear you wrote a book. Congratulations!!

Thanks!

Diane, that Nook must be a godsend if you don’t live near a bookstore.

Christina, V-Up!

Lisa, I’m glad you liked the Omaha setting. I had fun hiding Omaha Easter eggs for local readers …

Carol, thanks! I wish I was going to Dublin, but I’m all about London this time around.

Congratulations on the book.
If you go to Dublin when in the UK, you could get a tour from an “Omaha girl” about your age.
Let me know if you want me to send my daughter’s contact information.
