Sweet, very funny, with wonderful details that made me feel like I lived in Florida all over again. Didn't shy away from reality and the problems in FL and had some incredibly satisfying moments. Great, complex MC and LI (both of whom were viewpoint characters) and a raucous but multidimensional cast of secondary characters.
