Maynard & Jennica

Maynard & Jennica/Rudolph Delson 300 pg.

This book is a love story but far from the gooey starry-eyed people who become so irrational when they fall from each other, Maynard and Jennica end up thrilled with each other but not quite so disgusting about it all. Maybe it is the quirky aspect of the characters or the way the writer unfolds the story with first person narratives of everyone involved or maybe because we really aren't sure where this relationship is really going, or maybe this really is a great book. Whatever the reason, I found myself hoping Maynard wouldn't really get a 4 year prison term for killing a tree and that Jennica wouldn't hook up at a wedding she attended after a fight with Maynard and that their different views of the 9/11 tragedy wouldn't get in the way of their relationship. Fun book.
