My one (Mexican) Coworker's Verdict on "The Lovely Bones."

The other week, I was asking my one (Mexican) coworker what she was reading, and she said she had finally finished reading "The Lovely Bones," which she had gotten a copy of somewhere and had been reading on and off for a while.

"I saw the movie, but I never read the book," I was like. "How was it? Any good?".

"Oh, it was okay," she was like. "It's not true, it's fiction, people come back and help people after they are gone. It's nice if it's true, but it's not," and at that she made a face.

"Wishful thinking," she was like after a beat, and then she went off to go do something.
