The Never-Open Desert Diner by James Anderson
5.0
When I read the blurb for The Never-Open Desert Diner, I knew it would be something I would enjoy. Quirky, mysterious, thrilling; it was none of these and all of these descriptions.
I am totally and unashamedly in love with this novel. It has been 6 minutes since I finished the book and I STILL have goosebumps, a broken heart, and dried tear tracks.
The story was incredibly intriguing and slow burning. It took a while to really come to the point of the mystery, but that was okay because I was absolutely invested in Ben Jones and his cast of odd customers along the 117 highway. The romance was slightly insta-love but tender and beautiful. The whole mystery was just a bit anticlimactic but that was okay as well, because the story wasn’t about the mystery; it was about Ben and Claire, but mostly Ben and his ragtag of Utah ‘neighbors’ living off the grid.
This is going to down as a classic in my book. I am enamored completely; in fact I kind of want to read it again!
Oh and Whelper is a piece of shit! I needed to get that out!
