Chuck Morgan is a suddenly single, and trying to figure out his life after his wife decides to move on from their marriage. He encounters wacky situations and wacky characters. You feel bad for him at times, and at other you just wanna smack him in the head so he gets a grip but always find yourself wanting to keep reading and see where Chuck ends up.
I really liked this book, different to what I read and expected from the title and super enjoyable.
I really enjoyed the ending, and that is huge for me as I feel that many books let the reader down. This was spot on for the story, better than I expected.
My other comments on the book are:
-The first person perspective is very coherent, and doesn't feel awkward when reading it. The proper backstory is integrated well into the point of view without it being "I'm talking to reader so obviously".
-Some of the situations are downright hilarious/crazy . Personally, I loved the whole Rabbi storyline.
- I like that while the town is fictitious, some of the events are real. (i.e.: this in set before my interest in NFL started so it was fun to read about the Eagles)
- the yoga stuff motivated me to look into it :)
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to people. I think it is an enjoyable read, and a lot of people can see themselves identified with the whole process of change regardless.
P.S.: it reads way faster than i did, but that pesky thesis i am writing gets in the way every once in a while....
