"[the cat] used to catch mice in the backyard and eat them, but she would extract the heart with the precision of a dedicated surgeon. she'd leave the hollow muscular organ on my pillow licked clean, or on the flat toe of my black rubber rain boots by the porch door. she would meow in a particularly high pitch, urgently, to alert my attention to the gift. now that's devotion. how anyone could live up to this in a human body is anyone's guess."

i don't know why it took me so long, but i finally read her second novel (and am excited for the third one to come out in august). she's so good at writing detailed characters/humans who seem not necessarily like characters/humans i would really like if i met them. but they sure make for page-turning story protagonists.
