Some Assembly Required by Lynn Kiele Bonasia

I picked up Some Assembly Required by Lynn Kiele Bonasia because it was set on Cape Cod, my childhood home away from home.  It is a book about a 39 year old named Rose, she breaks up with her longtime boyfriend and heads to Cape Cod to start over.  She ends up with some very eccentric neighbors who you can't help but love.  There is an autistic boy who lives next door that holds the community together after his mom dies, he has no father, so the community bands together to take responsibility for him.  There is also a mystery of a man who went missing many years ago who has connections to Rose's neighbor, she wants to help out by trying to find out what really happened.  It is surprising what she finds out.

I thought it was a great book of love, loss, friendship with a little mystery thrown in.  I recognized some of the places they mentioned in the story.  I read her other book Summer Shift a couple years ago about a woman who runs a crab shack on Cape Cod, also a good book.  If you are looking for a quick read with lovable characters pick this one up.
