Happenstance is a novella about three Erins in a small town in OK. Erin Easter is our narrator, who long ago was close friends with the other two Erins (Alder and Sonny). However, once junior high and high school began, Erin Easter was a social pariah and the other two Erins delighted in making her life a living hell.This is a quick read and immediately draws the reader into Erin Easter's story. She's had a miserable life, living with a mother who cares more for anything but Erin, and Erin has had to work hard for everything she has. The other two Erins are spoiled rotten and lead their minions in tormenting Erin Easter. If they get Erin Easter to cry it makes their day even better. The dialogue of these bullies rings true as I recalled my own junior high bullying.The plot twist was something I didn't see coming and made the entire story that much more intriguing. What will Erin Easter do now? What about all the other seniors in her school? Does this change things for the better or worse? I can't wait to find out what happens next. Does Erin make it to OSU? Does Gina care at all? What made Gina the way she is?I'll be sitting on pins and needles awaiting the next volume in this series!
