Pam's Book 25: The Year of Pleasures

I read this book quickly, in a matter of hours. I found it mildly interesting, a lot of it completely unbelievable. A woman, newly widowed, drives on back roads to Farmtown, Midwest, buys a house on impulse, collects stray young men (not in a sexual way), miraculously regains old friends she ditched thirty years ago but who still love her and treat her as if she never left, finds a man, unfinds a man. She was actually pretty annoying. I don't think it's just that her life was somewhat foreign to me; I've connected with characters far more removed from my life.

The best thing I can say about the book is that it took up several hours of an afternoon in which I had nothing else to do. I don't regret having filled those hours with this book, but I don't think I'm going to be picking up any others by her.
