This was a fun little book. Addie was a slightly bored empty nester that thought the reason she was so unhappy was because husband Lucky didn't pay enough attentio to her and instead spent his time collecting junk in what Addie termed his "Kingdom of Krap" in the garage. Lucky "wins" a trip to Costa Rica (through plenty of hard work selling auto parts) and then as they prepare to leave, Lucky messes up his back and instead of finding "Paradise", Addie finds herself having to wait on Lucky while he heals from his injury. This additional stress of being "put upon" for Addie is just too much and she and Lucky separate. But wait, all is not lost. Through some very fund scenes and adventures, Lucky manages to turn around not only himself but several of the men in Parker, PA and eventually this brings the marriage / separate to a resolution. Do they stay together or divorce. Read it and see. Only the last chapter of the book (the fall bash that is invaded by pirates) seems a bit out of place. Otherwise a fun read that will give you some pause for thought.
