A Lovely, Indecent Departure

by Steven Lee Gilbert

A great, sharp story with pages you want to keep turning. I wanted to read this book, and when Steven was the one who sent me a copy himself, it admittedly lurked in the back of my mind: “Oh no, what if I hate it.” Well, no worries there. As full as this week has been, I read it in one afternoon.

I liked so much that some of the biggest questions weren’t answered in black and white: Anna’s past, Evan and Anna’s marriage. Because they weren’t questions, you know from the present the past exactly. The dialogue never loses its way.

What I’d read, too, is a whole book about Monroe and Grace.
