    A Great Story

    I picked this book up of the shelf and bought it without knowing anything about it, other than by reading its synopsis on the back of the book. The characters were well developed and the story had some interesting twists. I am looking forward to hopefully finding another book by Dunford on bookshelves in the future.

    Funny, breezy, lightweight look at the life of an aspiring writer living in (and trying to deal with) Toronto's artistic community. Some unlikely plot contrivances, especially towards the end, but it's all in good fun.
