I could’ve spent 400 more pages with these beguiling characters. This novel oozed charm and wit with a huge cast of colorful characters to help get the party going. Just go along for the ride.

Ultimately this book is about two things: desperation and love, with all the untidiness and unpredictability that come along with those two strong emotional forces.

The Great Recession (2008) is the backdrop, and with that we get to witness a community trying to survive in all the right and extra-wrong ways.

Loved this offbeat and surprisingly soul-stirring roller coaster ride.
