| After seeing that I had the book Repossessed, by A.M. Jenkins, as my Favorite Book of the Week for, um, a lot longer than a week, someone (ack–can’t remember who) said I needed to read this book: Soul Enchilada, by David Macinnis Gill. So I did. And I really liked it.
It’s another book that made me laugh while I was thinking about big |

questions like self-sufficiency, life after death, deals with the devil, etc. I loved the main character, Bug. She doesn’t waste a lot of time feeling sorry for herself–she just sets out to fix things (like the fact that her grandfather essentially traded her soul for a 1958 Cadillac Biarritz) the best she can, while accepting that some things might just be unfixable. She’s got mad pizza delivery and basketball skills, her new boyfriend works for the International Supernatural Immigration Service, and she can mouth off like nobody’s business. What’s not to love?
