Didn't realize when I Kindled that I'd already read this story in Ms. Weiner's "the guy not taken." It was a pretty good short story, but did not really stand on its own...so I'm glad it'll be turned into a full length. However, Swim should have not been included in "the guy not taken" because there are parts that are not totally flushed out...or, it should have been noted that it was a prequel. The grandmother bit was homey and cute...somehow that never gets old for me. I'm anxious to read the book when it's out to see where Ms. Weiner takes it. I'm familiar with the L.A. television business and that is accurately represented in the story.
