The peach keeper5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Kind of like eating chocolate macaroons for breakfast. So all in all, this is a squishy little bit of nothing. Do thirty-year-olds really confront each other about stupid stuff they did as teenagers? I never attended any of my high school reunions, so I wouldn't know. I couldn't really relate because I pretty much forgot high school slights and disappointments by the time I was about twenty-one. ![]() The story's about four thirty-year-olds who finally come to terms with high school pettiness and decide to get on with their lives. There's not really anything about "peach keeping" in the story except one little thing near the end that feels like it was tossed in to justify the title. Late in the book there's a chapter called "The Joker, the Stick Man, the Princess, and the Freak." That should have been the book's title. ![]() This wasn't terrible, but it lacks that spark of magic Allen's readers have grown to love. ![]()
