What a nice, diverting read and a rewarding use of time.
This excellent debut novel has very little to do with tourism or tour and travel but quickly introduces us to a small group of twenty-somethings you find oddly appealing. All are seeking success, some in business and others in the bedroom.
The artsy-crafty English majors mingle with the gifted financial gurus and university ties are extended and twisted and manipulated for many, many years.
The narrator mid-book muses "It was hitting me all over again that the one woman I was truly interested in was not only married, but was also having an affair with a gay man who'd once had feelings for me."
(This is part of a longer review I did for the Charleston, SC Post and Courier newspaper in May 2007.
