Ex-Boyfriend on Aisle 6

& 34;Don& 39;t be fooled by the lovely, lady-like voices that lure you into the twenty-two short stories in Susan Jackson Rodgers& 39; Ex-Boyfriend on Aisle 6. It& 39;s hard not to be pulled into the deceptively charming female heads and start laughing along, relating to the frazzled divorced woman unhappy to bump into her ex-boyfriend, or the little girl innocently feeding birds outside by the pool. Then a devastating twist towards the end lurches your heart out and shocks you so much you have to go back to reread the beginning to see what the author had slyly slipped past that you& 39;d barely noticed. Think: Flannery O& 39;Connor meets Desperate Housewives. A poetic, hilarious and haunting collection.& 34; - Susan Shapiro, author of Overexposed and Five Men Who Broke My Heart
