I especially enjoyed the organization of the book into short stories that revolved around a small group of characters and how they related to the central character--Olive. The author demonstrates an insightful grasp of human behavior and was so adept that she led me to believe that if I met Olive in a social or business setting, I would know her. Olive was complex and all too human, and I identified with her in many ways--meaning I saw many of my quirks in her and vice versa!

Great story with complex characters. The author's writing style kept the reader intrigued and engaged.
