Love and Hot Chicken by Mary Liza Hartong
4.0
It turns out that this was just what I needed.
Due to many reasons, I badly needed a book that was lighter in tone but that would not insult my intelligence. This book delivered.
In short, it is the story of PJ, who leaves her PhD program following the death of her father, gets a job at the Chickie Shak in her hometown, falls in love with a waitress, is forced to compete in the Hot Chicken pagent, and does her best to figure out life and relationships along the way.
This was recommended by an author I trust implicitly, Margaret Renkl (The Comfort of Crows, Late Migrations), who has steered me to several other now favorite books. I am glad that she did.
