I perused the library shelves and found an older Jennifer Weiner book of short stories. The Guy Not Taken has some familiar characters and some new ones. Weiner's trademark humor shines through this collection as we follow love and relationships over time.
Marlie is home with her new baby. She finds her ex's online wedding registry and ponders the "what ifs" of life. What if she had wound up with this guy?
Bruce from Weiner's novel Good in Bed is drunk and ready to steal a rat terrier. The bachelor party night becomes complicated.
Jessica Norton lists her wonderful New York apartment hoping to win her broker's heart. (Silly woman!)
In the eleven stories, you meet folks who feel familiar. Some could be friends, some enemies, and most are muddling along. The author explores the hidden corners of our common experiences. (cover blurb). Thumbs up on poignancy and laughter - a good combo.
