Meeting New People
By Daniel M. Lavery. A domestic comedy that takes a turn into spiritual examination of conscience, this witty novel is narrated by a middle-aged food-service worker in Brooklyn who is reeling from her ninth best-friend breakup. As it turns out, the rules for female socialization are not as explicit or reliable as The Joy of Cooking, but that doesn't stop her from trying to explain them to herself and the lucky reader who overhears her interior monologue.
