A book written for us book nerds! Delightful, entertaining, fun! Even though I'm twice+ her age, I could relate to Nina and her love of books, her desire for solitude, and her cat, Phil.
She's a trivia champ, holds reading clubs for kids, entertains groups in the book store and is quite happy with her life. Until an attorney shows up to tell her that the father she never knew has died and left her something in his will. She has lived 29 years without ever knowing anything about him, and now she has half-siblings and nieces and nephews! It's all overwhelming to this only child of a single, never at home, mother. But luckily she has a few supportive new family members who help her over the hurdle of "so much ness."
Along the storyline she falls for a competing trivia team member, Tom, so we have that little side story to enjoy.
This was a fun book to read. I look forward to reading others written by Abbi Waxman.
Favorite line: Shiny ribbons of traffic spangle below you, and in the distance you see an impossibly verdant patch, like a green darn in a gray sock.
