Ohio was hardly ready for its prized Piqua Peach Queen to come bopping out of the closet, so in her early 20s Macy Delongchamp moved to Greenwich Village and started her own successful travel agency. But Macy is now in her early 40s (or late 30s, depending on whom she's talking to) and finds herself adrift in her own seemingly charmed life. First, there are the nightmares, Ohio was hardly ready for its prized Piqua Peach Queen to come bopping out of the closet, so in her early 20s Macy Delongchamp moved to Greenwich Village and started her own successful travel agency. But Macy is now in her early 40s (or late 30s, depending on whom she's talking to) and finds herself adrift in her own seemingly charmed life. First, there are the nightmares, then the nagging cough, and finally, after yet another night of tequila swigging, she trips down a flight of stairs and finds herself hobbling the streets of Manhattan with the aid of a cane fashioned from a petrified bull penis. That actually comes in handy, though, because there is nothing like a petrified bull penis to beat off a mugger, which is how she ends up using it when she comes to the aid of young, badly dressed belle on roller skates named Sarah--and falls in love with her. But is Macy ready to embrace the kind of life she has spent years avoiding and making fun of? Before she has time to find out, the death of her father, "Wild" Bill Delongchamp, pulls her back to Ohio, where the events and people of her past run headlong into the new Macy of good times, uncommitted relationships, and globe-trotting adventures. In bawdy, hilarious style we follow Macy through one self-induced misadventure after another on her path to realizing that she has been running from herself and home has always been waiting. Michelle Sawyer was born and continues to live in Jackson, Mich. This is her first novel.

This was an funny and well written book. It may not be great literature, but I really enjoyed it. It was a fun, fast read.

I'm not sure what possessed me to pick this one up. I despise romance... but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the way it was written, witty and clever at some points, cynical and desperate at others. Macy, the main character, was pretty dynamic and I liked her despite everything else. The actual 'romance' was pretty boring and really cliche, but the relationship between Macy and her best friend's family, as well as her own family, was interesting enough to overshadow the dullness.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the characters (damaged and comforting) and the fast pace of the story line. However, I found that the back and forth to the family background was irrelevant and the falling in love phase was WAY too short. I mean, come on!
Yeva –
The characters are great. I want to explore the friendship with Macy and Trish more.

I know romance in books is normally beyond believing, but the romance in this book was beyond believing and I almost quit reading it. I did like the story of Macy's life and if that had been the only storyline my rating would have been higher.
