Boys Come First – Aaron Foley

Expectation: A story about three middle-aged friends heading on a vacation to reconnect and lick wounds from failed relationships.

Reality: There’s no vacation, but there is a lot of humor and heart in this lighter read about reconnecting, re-envisioning and reclaiming one's future. 

Zorrie – Laird Hunt

Expectation: An Olive Kitteridge-like main character that has the gumption and resolve to weather all of life’s seasons.

Reality: A story that ended up being more depressing than life-affirming and overall a little pointless.
