Eric thought he was living a reasonable life until a series of calamities broke up his marriage, took his job and put his parents in a precarious position.

When Kevin, his tennis partner in High School, reminds him of the great team they made and offers him the opportunity to turn his life around he has a critical decision to make.

What Kevin suggests is so outlandish, so extreme that it will take a whole lot of commitment to go through with.
Eric is torn -- trying to decide who he can trust and which of his emotions are real. Is Eric really Cinderella . . . and his friend his Fairy Godmother? Or, is something happening that is much more sinister?

Well worth the read ...

... which hardly needs saying for anything Angela writes.

This isn't forced fem as such but manipulated fem on a what might be considered a reluctantly willing subject but the plot goes deeper and the twists much more convoluted than that somewhat superficial comment implies.

What did seem slightly odd to me is that the restaurant chain, whilst significant to the plot, hardly gets to sit centre stage. There's also the point that the pronunciation of 'Aunt' gets a look in. Apparently in most of the US it's 'Ant' whereas here (and in New England?) it's Arnt. I called my aunts (as well as some family friends) Aunty (Arnty) so I think the chain's name works either way.

Rush to Amazon, download and read - it's free if you have Unlimited.

Since much of England and New England do not pronounce 'r' the way most of the rest of the US does, your transliteration comes out as rather unhelpful if not downright misleading. :) I really can't imagine anyone pronouncing Aunt with an r sound in the middle. :D

I'm glad you enjoyed this new edition, though. Thanks for the comment. :)

That's the problem with trying to write accents.

People read your deliberate misspellings which try to emulate the way people talk in their own accent. In the UK the short 'u' used in the north and midlands is often represented by replacing the 'u' with 'oo' which always throws me as I rhyme that with 'loop' rather than 'book'.

The older generation in my N Midlands location (not far from Sherwood Forest :) ) would typically pronounce 'book' using the 'loop' 'oo' sound. As I'm in my early 80s they were born in the late 19th Century so a long time ago.

I haven't got an accent, of course, it's all you lot :)

Supposedly someone just came out with study -- that indicates Minnesota accents are the least sexy in the U.S.

Uffda!
