I was pleasantly surprised by Lost in New Falls. It uses some familiar plotlines – girl in love with brother’s best friend, best friend can’t go after girl because of brother, grown up girl has self-esteem issues from childhood but still has hots for the best friend, best friend is commitment shy but still has hots for girl too. Somehow, though, Marks manages to keep her story fresh and entertaining. The interactions are funny and charming, the cast of characters is quirky but believable, and the plot flows smoothly and quickly. She manages to infuse the mystery over the thefts with just the right amount of intrigue to keep it interesting while not short-changing the love story.
