There were four of us, two of which had read the book. Luckily Janice and I were there early and so could discuss the book without making Tony and Greta feeling left out at all. It was agreed that "One Amazing Thing" is a sweet read. The setting for the various stories is very clever and each story is engaging. We also agreed that the stories don't ring quite true as impromptu confessions and they all have too similar a voice but were so entertaining it didn't hinder enjoyment.

There was NO problem getting into Delancey Street because so far The America's Cup has failed to draw any crowds. We'll see if things are more lively in August.
