AHHH! I loved it!

Part of me wishes that I had read this before I read the book. On the other hand, I like the fact that I know the characters and their answers are so true to the both of them. You put a lot of work into this, and the answers are great!

When I was reading #35, my brain combined 'glass' and 'bacon' and I read "broken glass"...I was forced to do a double take.

#43 is cute, along with the 'I hate hippies' comment he makes later on (not sure what number).

Just reading this, you get such a good sense of Graham's need for structure and order, and Marina's spirit.

Very cool, Jess. I think you should link this when you are talking about your book...like, a meet 'n greet with the characters of 'Bombshell'.
