A New Year's Eve I'm Glad I Missed,
By Clare C. Newbury (Edgecomb, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Auld Lang Syne (Paperback)
If you have ever thought you had been through the New Year's Eve from Hell, read this little gem and feel better. The four thoroughly dysfunctional characters, John, Grace, Mike, and Amanda, are disturbingly real. I am exceedingly glad I don't know them, especially Grace, but I certainly enjoyed reading about them. The characters' roles are quickly established, and then richly developed through intense dialogue that draws the reader into the gruesome scene as it unfolds. My buttons were pushed: I felt pity, annoyance, rage, hopelessness, and disgust with the outrageous, self-defeating, enabling, and downright insane behavior of the individuals in this book. The ending leaves the reader to speculate as to what will become of John and Grace, in particular. It reminds me of waking up from a nightmare that isn't quite over, and then lying in bed thinking up the most (or perhaps least) satisfying possible outcome.
