I'm a sucker for a novel that doesn't rely on an obvious enemy, a tale of good and evil, but rather digs in deep and examines human behavior from the inside out. In Crooked Moon, a reunion occurs between two women, each of whom seems compelled to reconcile her past and move forward, somewhere, but neither seems quite sure how to go about doing so. Secrets, as they do, are weighing them down. And boy! These women have secrets.

This book was both fun and filled with surprising insight. The writing is excellent, as is the storytelling. I read this on my Kindle, a little bit at a time each night, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I enjoyed the escapism but the reality of it. The thing that's unique about the book: It's fun and light and humorous without compromising the exploration that a storyteller must be willing to engage in. This is a study in human behavior and a damn good story, all in one. Not an easy feat!
