I was on the wait list for quite a while for this book, and I was disappointed upon reading it. I found the story didn't flow well or hold my interest. The characters in the book really have nothing in common other than that they all pass through this roadside diner named Cass'. I could write a similar book called "Everyone who walked through Target in the month of March" for all the sense this book had.

I didnt like this book very much.It was kind of boring hearing peoples stories who come in and out of Cass cafe.It seemed like everyone had a problem or woes is me that they had to tell.Then for me the book got stranger when the cop and pink were smoking pot.This seemed to far fetched.Thats when i decided to put the book down and read something else a little more upbeat and happy.I dont know what the author was thinking when she wrote this book.I wouldn't recommend this book unless you like to listen to hear about other peoples problems.
