review 1: Liked it more than I thought I would, to clarify. Especially as it involved the military and good god, the stylistic convention of footnotes which drives me CRAZY. Good character development and more complex than you would think but for some reason the age of the characters kept throwing me off. I know 24 year olds are teachers etc. etc. but they seemed young for the thoughts and experiences. Shout out to Tacoma, getting some love.
review 2: Miss Harper is a young schoolteacher, very likeable, whose boyfriend is shipped to Iraq.She keeps a log about her year of separation. Quite a moving account of her time and thoughts, etc. And funny at times. She teaches, volunteers at a nursing home, raises a chicken.Before the end of the year she breaks off the relation
... moreship, though, and hooks up with her best friend from high school, Gus. They had remained good friends thru the years.Takes place in Tacoma, Wa., which was fun. less

How will Miss Harper deal with her man at sea and her elementary school classroom at the same time?
