Jane Lotter
4/5 stars
When Margo's spoiled niece, Georgia, runs away from her wedding, Margo is sent to retrieve her. Margo's partner in this is Georgia's jilted groom, Tully. Together, Margo and Tully take a cross country trip in a red 1955 MG searching for Georgia. On the way, Margo revisits her past and comes to grips with her present.
Lotter's well-written novel is laugh-out-loud funny in parts, and moving in others. The characters are easy to sympathize with, as well as fully fleshed and believable. The plot, no matter how ridiculous, is generally credible and always engaging. It's a shame that this was Lotter's only novel.
