Hope, a hippie commune kid, is sent to Brooklyn in order to spend the summer with her sister so that her lovey-dovey parents can go to Thailand on a second “non honey-moon”. Hope, without money or friends, is left pretty much alone and can’t stop obsessing over her last disastrous relationship. Luckily, true to her name, Hope remains--well hopeful and within a few chapters pays off an inexplicable debt to a vet, finds a new great job, and comes out of the closet. Pleasant and quick to read, in the same way one could read a glossy magazine article without coming up for air, this book is a surefire winner for the reader who loves plot and hates description. Also perfect for reluctant readers.
