Ah, the 80's anthem - "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi - the story of Tommy and Gina: two kids fighting the odds as they just try to give it a shot. In this story, however, Tommy doesn't work on a dock, and Gina doesn't work the diner all day. The thing is, every town has their own Tommy and Gina story. This one just happens to be a little more...unique. The seaside town of York, Maine is the backdrop to this tale, taking you from the 80s to the present day. This is not a Chicken Soup for the Soul type story. But, like soup, it contains many ingredients. Start with a 1/2 pot of Tommy - a Bon Jovi hairband-loving burnout. Add a 1/2 pot of Gina- a dressed-in-black, Cure-loving alterna-chick. Mix in plenty of 80's references then bring to a boil and stir. Add a splash of tragedy with a hint of that could never happen, could it? Sprinkle in a doctor who resembles Christopher Walken and who may or may not be in the mafia. Next, season with a little Mexican sidekick, a tablespoon of tenderness, a splash of a naughty Zumba instructor - at this point the mixture will stiffen. Finally, add three full cups of redemption, true love, and happily ever after! Garnish with yoga pants. In all seriousness, this book is a super-silly comedy, but with a big heart, and although it might be slightly more appreciated if you're from the 80's, it's definitely not a requirement. It's a fun, easy read that will keep you smiling and laughing the whole way though

'Pug Sheridan' proves herself to be a lively protagonist and a sure-footed storyteller in a compelling coming-of-age chronicle set in turn-of-the-century rural Alabama. At the outset, Pug looks back upon the decade that will form her narrative and begins her tale with trepidation: The man I shot had friends whose hearts and minds remain as closed as his once was. It has become my habit to listen for footsteps behind me in the dark...As I stir the smouldering ashes of the past, I can feel the searing heat on my face. Here is a first-person voice that is both sassy and poetic. Pug's 'confession' builds, inexorably, toward what appears to be a justified homicide. Pug forms indelible friendships with six extraordinary young women who dub their taboo multi-ethnic sorority 'The Secret Society of the Seven Sisters'. They are menaced one Halloween night by six drunken, delinquent boys who grow up to form the core of the local, resurgent Ku Klux Klan.The fearful asymmetry between these groups and their ideologies -- one female, the other male, one progressive, the other reactionary, one representing inclusiveness, the other prejudice and hatred -- produces much of the novel's considerable tension without descending to male-bashing. While remaining uplifting, 'Pug Sheridan' is written in a magical realist mode filled with cosmic ironies and mysterious synchronies, often highlighted with supernatural overtones. Emphasis is laid on the premise that life is a mystical journey; it's all about choices -- individual and cultural. Yet, if the story is informed, perhaps indirectly, by the influence of Garcia Marquez or Toni Morrison, it also draws upon some of the archetypal plot conventions of the Victorian novel, making for a unique blending of disparate influences. A page-turner with a rapid pulse, 'Pug Sheridan' will be treasured by readers of all ages.
Moe Szyslak, pug-ugly purveyor at the local waterin' hole, has done it all—from takin' his licks in the boxing ring to performin' backroom surgery. Get to know the man behind the apron strings, the misunderstood mixologist with the gold-plated heart, as he dispenses advice to drunks like it was Duff on draft, recommends some of his signature (and watered-down) drinks like the Moe-jito, tries out a pick-up line or two, dreams of actually gettin' a date, dishes a little on his acting career, and counts his blessings (like babysittin' Maggie Simpson) that make life worth livin' for at least one more day.
