Drive-Up
My kid, Romy, says I'm old and she's worried about me. What's to worry about... aside from Jordan, my ex? Really, she didn't have to come all the way home to check on me. It's all good—especially Nova, the girl at the drive-up coffee shop. I keep to my work and surfing the local breaks to keep her out of my head... But it doesn't work. Her perfect skin and brilliant hair crash through my mind and draw me to her—like a super-moon tide. There's something about her...

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.
