cover blurb - Blindsided by her mother's death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody arrives in Cambridge MA, summer of 1997, without a plan. A child golf prodigy, she now waits tables and rents a tiny side garage room where she works on the novel she's been writing for six years.
In Writers and Lovers by Lily King, we follow Casey's fight to fulfill ambitions, balance demands of art and life, juggle two new very different men, and avoid crisis after crisis.
Casey is a likeable character, as are the two men in her life. But I wanted to shake her too. King does a good job of exploring artistic passion, ambition, and the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. (cover blurb)
