Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny

Practically every woman in Boyne City, Michigan, has shared her bed with Duncan. Jane hears this after she falls  in love with the handsome kind-hearted man, but she doesn’t mind. A second-grade teacher, Jane has other problems to deal with and Duncan is the perfect antidote to all of them. Eventually she makes peace with her life and with the town’s quirky people. Filled with striking metaphors — “Their conversation was like the apple dumplings, perfectly crimped around the edges and sealed off. Jane couldn’t get in.” — and warmhearted characters, this novel is sunshine in a cup. Drink deeply.
