Title: Love this book!
Review: Maggie & CL and their friends feel like real people. I've enjoyed every Crusie book I could find (most of them). Crusie makes me laugh and cry - sometimes simultaneously. Part of her gift is to weave together the threads of ordinary lives that - as you get to know the people - become not so ordinary. The mundane and trivial turn out to be the tip of an iceberg of profound inter-relationship(s). Her characters experience moments and make decisions that range from the absurdly ridiculous to a pure-hearted aspiration to the sublime. And - just like for you and me - it can be hard to tell the difference until some time goes by. Crusie relates even deplorable thoughts/feelings with a true compassion for each person's struggle to live a meaningful life.
