Emily St. John Mandel's The Lola Quartet
Interesting and likable story about a reporter who discovers he may have a ten year old daughter--and it's also about the very big mess her mother, his high school girlfriend is in--because she stole over one hundred thousand dollars from a drug dealer and has been on the run ever since. But it's not a thriller--it's really more of a story about relationships, about how high school dreams can die, and about whether or not we can escape our pasts. And it's about swampy, muggy, crazy Florida (Mandel nails the atmosphere). B+.
