The Peach Keeper was a great summer read - a tiny bit predictable, populated with likable characters, enough tension to make the romances interesting and well-written but easy to read. The Peach Keeper is set in Walls of Water, a small North Carolina town. The cast of characters are young thirtysomethings who are trying to figure out who they are now, who they were in high school and how to reconcile the two. I liked all four of the main characters - Paxton, Colin, Sebastian and Willa - and I could relate to the push/pull of their shared history, their families and their hometown. Allen crafted characters that interacted with each other in believable ways, but were also fully formed individuals apart from their romantic relationships and friendships. This isn't always easy to create in a novel. One character can end up being defined by who s/he is when with another character. Allen didn't fall into this trap with The Peach Keeper. I also enjoyed spending time in Walls of Water, particularly in Willa's sporting goods store. It sounded like a place where I might want to vacation (although I must confess I would not want to live there). I loved the way Allen described places in the town not only by how they looked, but by smell. Paxton's desire for a home smelling of doughnuts and fresh cut grass was evocative, as were other descriptions of coffee aromas, lemon scents and others. I read this book via Nook and I'm not sure whether it was the format or simply my desire to lose myself in a book momentarily, but I read it incredibly quickly. I have found reading books on an electronic reader tends to result in me reading the book faster. Given that I've only read two books this way thus far, the data is inconclusive as to whether its format, my interest level or the readability of the book. Should YOU read The Peach Keeper? If you're in the mood for a light, engaging summer read or a novel that will whisk you away on a mental vacation when you're stuck at home in a rut or just a bit of escapist fiction, then yes, you should read it. Perhaps, like me, you'll find it to be a quick read that leaves you glad for the break from everyday life.
