Welcome back to Cover Snark!
Amanda: Is she poopin?
Elyse: The moment you realize it wasn’t just a fart.
Sarah: That’s what the rose is for. She might need a few more for poo-pourri purposes.
(Also, hand to heaven, if you have to share a bathroom, especially while traveling, Poo-Pourri works REALLY well.)
Elyse: I hope that’s a typo.
Sarah: $10 says the title came first and the book was built around it.
Elyse: Did a 12 year old boy come up with it?
I’m all for a good double entendres but lord.
Maya: So is the pitch she’s a grieving widow and he has priapism?
Sarah: If it lasts longer than three chapters, please call your doctor.
From PamG: It’s definitely not the original nor illustrated, but it’s all kindsa ugly. Looks like a gruesome assemblage of body parts in a puddle of blood. It’s pretty repellent to me.
Sarah: Are they melting? Too close to the space heater? Sunbathing on a volcano that woke up? What on earth?
Amanda: Is Before Girl like a timeframe indicator like BC and AD?
Sarah: Judging by the cover, it marks the start of catastrophic global warming.
From Leslie: Misdirected Mae? And why is the guy dead? At least, his torso is dead. Maybe what is in his pants (or in the mailbox) is not dead. Hard to say.
Sarah: I can’t believe I’m typing these words, but: the mailbox penis is not subtle.
Amanda: I thought that was a stack of maxi pads at first.
Tara: My first thought was “dick in a (mail)box.”
Sarah: If step one is to cut a hole in the (mail)box, and step two is to put your dick in that (mail)box, is step three a visit from the postmaster general?
