Missing pages
So 99.9% of you got a perfect copy of A Lot Like Love but, unfortunately, one small batch of books that went to Amazon was missing pages 54-87. I’m told that Berkley has solved the problem and that all books going out from this point have been checked and are in perfect condition.
But I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies to those few of you who pre-ordered the book from Amazon and received one of the defective copies. How frustrating! I know how cranky I get when I’m looking forward to watching a particular movie and then the DVD comes from Netflix and it’s scratched and unwatchable. Grr.
So with that in mind… never fear! I’m posting the missing pages (the link below). It’s not a perfectly even break because my final copy of the book doesn’t match page-wise with the published version, so there’s about a half-page extra on both ends. But the content is all there.
Hey, that’s some good stuff there on pages 55-86… I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out. : )
