I read most of this book standing up in my university bookstore (I'm cheap that way).

What stood out most to me was Calliope's teenage years when she's super-popular with girl friends who just want to cuddle with her etc. *g*

Oh, and the mermaid scene.

Reading your post makes me realize how many things I've forgotten X-D

Haha, I did that for comics at the Virgin Megastore. They had sofas there and I read entire collection, just sitting there ^^;

I loved the scene in the pool with the Obscure Object of desire. And yeah, the mermaid scene quite stuck in my head.

^^
This book deserves to be read more than once, I think.
