The Biology of Luck--#12 finished

Basically a day in the life of two people Starshine, a hot girl, and a guy that is going sort of out with her & has a date that night with her, Larry Bloom.  Larry is a tour guide in New York and an otherwise pretty unremarkable person but has written a book at Starshine and has a letter that he doesn't want to open to see if he will be published.

Starshine was an overweight girl that seems like didn't fit in but lost a ton of weight & became hot.  She has men that want her, a trust fund kid that stands to inherit millions and Larry among them.  The book is about this one day leading up to the date.  Premise sounds good but had trouble finding any way to care about the characters lacking especially at the beginning.  By the end became somewhat enjoyable but overall not worth it in my mind.  Not terrible but not that good either in my opinion.  Sounds like the writer is more of a short story writer and this was first novel.  Maybe will enjoy the short stories more, might have to look some up.

I have posted it on PBS, it is the only copy in system so figure it will move at some point.
