There need to be more novels about friend breakups. 

With his third, the wonderful and witty author Daniel M. Lavery is doing his part, writing a “Heartburn pastiche” about a funny, sharp-witted, prickly woman who gets friend dumped—again!—and decides to figure out why!

daniel_m_lavery reads from “Meeting New People” at powellsbooks tonight, June 2, at 7:30pm. The event is free to attend and open to all ages who appreciate fine literature.
