The Merrill Diaries by Susan Tepper
5.0

An endearing tale about a woman who is truly living by the wind. Merrill is a bumbling but endearing character whose voice is addictive from the get. I was excited to follow her. She tells it like she sees it, she travels (taking thorough note of her surroundings), she makes mistakes, she seems not to know what she wants then know then not know again, she listens and doesn't, she learns and relearns; she narrates her story with the intimacy of a diary and the details of a keen observer. Merrill is full of life and fun to follow. So follow her.
