I would only recommend this book for pre-teens because this book is too "flat." The plot was not very exciting, as Elizabeth Summer said. The characters were very biased and one-dimensional; GT was ALWAYS good. The Mayor ALWAYS bad. Hope ALWAYS hopeful. It was just too unrealistic for me to believe and connect with.
eesh. Okay book. I liked parts of it, but other parts just dragged. I'm not a big fan of Girl Comes to Town, Meets Perfect Guy, Changes Town for the Better, And Then Ends Happily Ever After. I felt like Hope didn't grow enough to be realistic. I did like G.T. though. As strange as it sounds, I'm glad he died. It wouldn't have felt right it he'd lived. In fact, his cancer and death was probably the only reason I didn't toss this book on the reject pile when I was done.
This is my favorite of all Bauer's books. I've read it four times, and I got it for my mom for christmas. The waitressing tips were interesting, but the politics really pulled me in. This book is close to perfect. One of my top ten, definitely.
Hope- A young waitress with her life mixed with a resterant and campain life, with a good friend fighting cancer. In this story, it was good because the author didnt really exaturate on their personalities which made them so real. A book mabey suited form 12 and beyond.
I really love all of Joan Bauer's books, but this one was one of her best.
