Good writing and a wonderful, realistic, story line.
Just as in life, things don't always go exactly the way you'd like them to. But somehow the writer manages to give us a few chuckles and a lot of nostalgic smiles. I couldn't stop reading it, even though there is no heart pounding plot, no thrills or chills, and no sex. Well maybe just a hint of the protagonist's sexy memories and wistful daydreams. O'Nan describes a freezing and snowy winter night in New England. The description brought this Florida transplanted Massachusetts girl right back, making me feel the bone deep cold, and see the beauty of it as well. Red Lobster, behind the scenes, was described with what seemed like brutal honesty, but it still didn't come off as a really bad place to work, or at which to spend a pleasant dining time. The cleanliness got to me. If they're all like that I'm super impressed. I read the book in one sitting, it's not long, and I loved it.
