Title: I wasted my time on this one.
Product review: The characters were quirky and definately had potential. But the novel read like one great long trail of gossip that I heard but didn't really care about. At mid-point it seemed like it should end and I still had 200 pages to go! It went further downhill from there with some really sappy and/or silly scenes that bordered on being pathetic. It was MUCH longer than it needed to be and I'm surprised that it made by any self-respecting editor. I'm very, very sorry I wasted several hours on this novel when there is much more enjoyable material out there. (Would recommend Plainsong by Kent Haruf as a far superior read. Not much by way of humor but a wonderful and moving story of small town characters.)
