Second chances are a rare gift: a passionate romance with someone who gives back for reasons you cannot explain, success after a lifetime of failures, recognizing that some failures were really great things all along. Second chances may come from our own making and from a little good fortune. And sometimes, the Universe throws down a wildcard...
Drive-Up is a sentimental short story about that wildcard.
Christopher “CK” Page wrangled a Creative Writing degree from an unsuspecting Californian university and authored & published numerous speculative fiction stories and a few novels, among other shenanigans. Christopher writes from overpopulated, under-watered California with a brilliant Mate and some Beasts (all knuckleheads of felus domesticus)—there are some grown-up Offspring somewhere—“Call yer father!” Sexy as hell, he stays fit in retirement from a career as a referee with US Soccer, CIF/NFHS, and US Lacrosse.
One of my favorite authors is Edna Ferber because she writes stream of consciousness so well. Well, so does Mr. Page. He manages to capture the way a person thinks to themselves in a very organic way. It was refreshing and really connected me to the main character, Bodie. This is a great lunchtime read. It just kinda flows and I had no idea how the ending would come around, but in a good way. There was a realness in the main character that I wasn't expecting and that made that character very endearing and real. Take a chance and read this book.
