Book 89: A Pint of Beer, a Bag of Chips, and Thou by JL Merrow

I bought this book because it's set during Christmas and is by the author of Muscling Through, which I really enjoyed. I wasn't disappointed by the quality of the writing, or by how charming I found all of the characters (including a mom and three aunts who are all busybody matchmakers), but it's much more of a short story than it is even a novella, and what I wanted most from this story was more. It felt like the beginning of a story between the young hot punk busker and his financial district silver fox rather than a complete arc, and I wanted to know where things would take them after their Christmas Eve tryst. Definitely planning on checking out a couple of other books by this same author this month, and hopefully they'll be a bit more satisfying.
