Early morning riser

 

Early Morning Riser / Katherine Heiny, read by Kate Rudd, 317 pgs.

Jane meets Duncan soon after she moves to town and she easily falls in love with him.  He is perhaps the most prolific dater in town.  He is friendly with so many women, mostly because they have a history.  Jane isn't put off by that but also eventually realizes he is SERIOUS that he isn't interested in marriage.  I mean, he was married once to Aggie whose sidewalks he still clears of snow even though she is married once again.  Jane eventually moves along to Luke but she cancels the wedding after a car accident the day before ends with the death of a guests.  She never gets around to rescheduling.  Eventually she ends up with Duncan again and they make a family filled with eccentric towns people and two daughters as well as Jimmy, the slightly developmentally disabled adult whose mom was the victim in the crash just prior to her first wedding.  This is a sweet story...but not TOO sweet.  I enjoyed Jane's way of handling of everything from her second grade class to her mother.
