Scrambled Eggs at Midnight by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler
This book was supposed to be really good, but the title kept me from it for months.
Calliope (Cal) and her mom are moving yet again. This time to Ashville, North Carolina. Her mother is a free spirit who doesn’t like to be tied down to any one place for very long. Cal is the opposite. She wants a place to stay, and to call home.
Eliot has a home, in Ashville where his dad runs a religious fitness camp, and where he and his mom feel that they don’t belong anymore.
Naturally these two have to meet, and fall in love. Neither one of the two main characters seemed very real to me. Which is disappointing since you are reading their points of view in alternating chapters. The real winners in the character department are Cal’s mom and Abel, an older gentlemen who gives Cal a job, and she and her mom an apartment to rent. Too bad we didn’t find out more about them. An okay read.
