Whether it’s the greed that is the cornerstone of a villain or the unrequited love of a star-crossed couple, the hole that a reader sees gnawing away at a character echoes personally.The great irony, of course, is that we expect that missing piece to be the thing that brings happiness — and it rarely is." Jodi Picault
