    I've loved Kate for so many years, but now I adore her. She's a geek, a nerd, someone who's curious and fascinated by nature in all its glory and ugliness. And a budding carpenter, to boot. I think we'd have been good friends back in Middle School.

    But 'just' acting in some movie or series would be fine also I guess :)
    I mean, no disrespect for the book of course, I'm sure it is quite the fun and potentially life changing experience, and I really like the premise of the story, but I'm not really the target audience for it :D
