Milk, Turkey and Neurosis
by Grace Feldman
Gracie is a typical young woman looking for love. In today's time a lot of people have been going to the internet to try to find love. That is exactly what Gracie does. This is a story of Gracie going through the many ups and downs of dating life. That would be funny by itself but there's more. Gracie's mom has embarrassed her from when she is young to the present. She is forever worrying about what she is going to do next because she knows she will do something. Now with Thanksgiving approaching and her mother thinks she is dating someone new (a lie to stop a lecture). She now has to find a date for the big day. Date after date goes horrible wrong. With each date going badly, they also bring about memories of horrible dates as a teen. Here friends Jennifer and Herbie come along for the ride.
This is a fun ride through Gracie's dating life. The story is comical, full of trouble and turmoil. Her mother is hilarious but you feel the love she has of her daughter. The story is well written and it is great for a lite non-serious read. Life comes full circle and teaches some life lessons to Grace. Good comical story age appropriate for YA.
