Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Friends in Wisconsin

The struggles of small town high school buddies now grown up. Sort of.

One grows rich and then goes broke. One becomes a rock star. One suffers a life altering injury. And one has what all the others want. Conflict ensues.

Money can't bring happiness. Fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, no matter which side of the fence you're on.

This a realistic novel, well told. I enjoyed it, although the conclusion seemed a bit forced. But then endings to novels often seem a bit manufactured, especially when composed in the mode of realism.
