Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan

A short little book about the last day at a Red Lobster restaurant that is closing its doors. The weather is pretty bad out and the manager is trying to keep his staff contained and working even though most of them will be out of a job the next day.

This book isn't too exciting or fancy, but I think this is actually what makes it neat. The descriptions in this book are so real and true that they really capture a day in the life of the characters and the restaurant.
