THE ODDS OF YOU BY KATE DRAMIS – BOOK REVIEW

Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Kate Dramis is an Atlanta-based writer whose obsession with fantasy worlds and with escaping into a good love story eventually drove her to pursue her dream of becoming an author. She is the author of the instant #2 Sunday Times bestseller, The Curse of Saints.

This story actually had me laughing out loud at…
