Taft by Ann Patchett
4.0

I was dismayed that this Ann Patchett novel had the lowest rating of all her books on Goodreads. I enjoyed this, not sure what I expected. John Nickel is the night shift manager of a bar, and the mother of his 9 year old son took his son to Florida. He is soon consumed by a girl looking for a job who comes into his bar along with her Irish twin brother. I really enjoyed the character of John Nickel and the things he struggled with and tried to understand.
