This book was lovely, and I know that isn’t a great adjective – in fact, myriad people would be loathe to hear their work described as “lovely” – but this book really was lovely. Mar 16, Pages. I needed this today. Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Popppy know this is fiction, but with all the other local things handled so well, I found that a bit disappointing.

Although Brite made her name with horror, she ljquor worked in restaurants herself and is married to a chef, and clearly sees the possibilities of the enclosed and private world inhabited by people in the restaurant business.

A light-weight escapist good time. It ain’t a perfect book, but the higher any great writer aims, the more dust-bunnies fall from her comet’s trajectory.
