Book Update
I finished Nature Girl by Carl Hiassen.
Honey Santana and her son Fry are interupted during dinner by a telemarketer who upsets the mother so much that she hatches a hair brained scheme of revenge that changes the lives of not just them, but several other characters including Tigertail (half Seminole on the run), Gillian (bored sorority girl), a horny fishmonger, a private investigator, and even members of a cult.
I really enjoyed how the author brought people from so many different walks of life into one convoluted story, with plot twists upon twists. This, interspersed with beautiful descriptions of rural south Florida.
There is violence, adult language and adult situations, so I don’t recommend this to young adults, but it is a nice change from Harry Potter.
