Honest characters and a surprise ending. I can't say that I liked every decision that the characters made, but each character faced those decisions. They were honest at least with themselves about their motivations and reactions. I like that.
The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is a fun book, and the only reason it's not a four-star book is because the POV switches made it hard to keep track of which Supreme was narrating. The story takes place in small town Southern Indiana (points for name-checking Indy), and follows three best friends back and forth from high school to death's doorstep. Each woman has her own cross to bear, and all three of the story lines are dotted with crazy characters - my favorites were actually dead, the ghosts of Odette's mother and Eleanor Roosevelt. Yes, THE Eleanor Roosevelt. It's a fun, light read, but you might want a crib sheet to keep the Supremes straight.
I loved this book. Great storytelling from an author I hope to to read again soon.
Just what I needed after a few heavy reads this fall.
