Hobbie and Kari are misfit bank tellers known by their stigmata: Hobbie by his raging acne and Kari by her bulk. First novelist Crandell crafts their quirky love story with compassion; as Hobbie searches for his soulmate after she flees a weight-loss clinic, he learns to drop his defenses. It's a tale of people "moving from being anonymous jokes to beloved freaks," as Hobbie puts it. You'll be hooked.
