It is a very rare thing when a waitress is the main character of a book, much less an interesting waitress.

Particularly one that is not a waitress for a few mere pages of a romance novel before she meets the dashing rich young man, marries, and gets kidnapped by pirates.

I have not finished this book yet, but there are no pirates. Not yet anyway, and I'm about halfway through.

And she became a waitress after meeting the dashing young man.

I don't know how things are going to come out yet, but there are so many aspects of Newport and summer people who don't tip and year round rich people who have their own problems and quirks, that it might be interesting for StaceyV (and anyone else here) to read.

I know there's going to be a tragedy somewhere along the line. I have hit at least one, see the hints of a second, and am just waiting to find out what's really happening.

There has to be another tragedy, you see, because it's by the guy who wrote Fight Club.
