<p><strong>Bestselling author of <em>Autopsy of a Boring Wife </em>Marie-Renée Lavoie is a master of making us fall in love with her characters. She does it again with the tender coming-of-age story <em>Some Maintenance Required</em>.</strong></p>

<p>It is 1993, the last year of school and Laurie’s final spring before adulthood. She works part time at a restaurant and looks after Cindy, her neglected, potty-mouthed little neighbour. Like her mother, Laurie devours books and dreams big. Her father works at a garage, where Laurie constantly struggles to keep her car running. It is here that a budding romance intensifies Laurie’s understanding of class differences, and opens her eyes to a more complicated world. With her big heart, she takes Cindy globe-trotting without even leaving town, and learns how to come to terms with circumstances beyond her control. Life teaches Laurie that everyone requires some maintenance sometimes. A story of taking responsibility and coming into adulthood, <em>Some Maintenance Required</em> is as funny and as impressive as its main character.</p>
