Or perhaps the buzz leads you to believe that this is the next great literary adventure.  No one is perfect authors included.

There is nothing wrong with leaving that lover who has disappointed one too many times.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37021893/7346622997314106022/comments/default/3879966031738730850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37021893/7346622997314106022/comments/default/3879966031738730850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thebookcatapult.com/2011/11/quittings-alright-by-me.html?showComment=1321001576895#c3879966031738730850' title=''/><author><name>warwickian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00981191870634725468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10641098602728352538'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thebookcatapult.com/2011/11/quittings-alright-by-me.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37021893.post-7346622997314106022' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37021893/posts/default/7346622997314106022' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-68708574'/></entry></feed>
