This worthy read begins with a posting looking for team members to play on an Aunt Sally team - a game played in British pubs.  Bill who was looking to put the team together had ideas of a dedicated team to participate in competitions with other like teams.  His hopes of this didn't appear too promising when he saw who walked in the pub on the first evening looking to join. He became more convinced of this as the weeks went by and some of the folks weren't showing up.  Competitions were played and relationships were established albeit many unhealthy ones.What drew me in? The relationships I knew the book was offering.What kept me reading?  The true to life personalities and relationships. Not all the relationships within are romantic; Some are friendships; Some are teammates.  Sure most of the main characters were making terribly unwise choices but none of them were cookie-cutouts rife in most romance novels. When a book makes me feel, it's a good book and this one makes me feel. I found myself shaking my head at choices being made but was happy in how someone treated one character who badly needed encouragement.  Ya, I was probably shaking my head more than not.
