The novella is only alright, but there's a short story in here called "Smoke" that's a precursor to "Brightness Falls" that's his best work.
Perceptions differ, but when you allow yourself to perceive life from another's shoes, you glimpse another's experience.
For years Steve Martin has been leading a double life. Hollywood A-List Funny man and New Yorker contributing word smith. This is an elegantly written novella. Steve Martin writes Mirabelle very well as if he crawled into the mind of a 20-something insecure young woman who wishes to be noticed and made feel so special by someone who seems special. There is still the trademark Martin humor with Jeremy's clumsy transition to loser oaf to awkward, but boyfriend worthy hero. It's a fast, heart-breaking and romantic read.
A fitting gift from the mom of the boy who broke up with me.
