A review by lynburn
Buster Midnight's Cafe by Sandra Dallas

3.0

I would give Buster Midnight’s Cafe a solid 3.5 stars. I love Sandra Dallas’ newer books but this is a backlist book of hers that wasn’t the best book I’ve read. It’s a slow character driven book where not a lot happens but a lot happens. That doesn’t make sense but the story spans over 50 years, so this story of friendship and family is set upon a background of a changing America that the reader only sees from Prohibition to after WWII. And for the characters they just live their lives. There are heartbreaking moments and moments of triumph but overall nothing extraordinary. Even the murder trial and the ending did-he did-she wasn’t all that eventful. But I laughed, I cried, I had characters I liked and some I didn’t.
