You start to haunt your google ego-search and Goodreads, hoping to hear nice things and cringing against the thought of bad things… (this stage, for me, lasts about two-three days. But it’s a painful few days…) Fortunately, the first review I saw of DOGHOUSE was here “The witty banter between characters Tonica and Ginny and the
