Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler
4.0
Micah Mortimer is a bit of a perfectionist. He likes everything just so. He has a set schedule for cleaning, a different task each day. But, his personality doesn't let him see the bigger picture. He doesn't reach or change things up at all.
When a college friend's son comes to him, it upends his relationship with his woman friend, Cass. This young man puts a wrinkle into his life, and the child's mother explains what she believes went wrong in their relationship. Armed with this knowledge, Micah makes an important change.
I laughed out loud several times reading this book. I loved reading about all the Baltimore area landmarks that were familiar to me. Anne Tyler takes the completely mundane, every day experiences, and turns them into unique stories. Very enjoyable.
