“April & Oliver”
By Tess Callahan
Grand Central Publishing, $23.99, 326 pages
Smoldering sexual attraction, terrible timing, childhood friends — one reckless and wild, the other proper and conventional. The perfect stuff for a weekend of rather gloomy weather. The characters in this debut novel are rendered carefully, and the story barrels along with the velocity of slightly unhinged first love. The editor of this book gave it to me a few months ago and it was a delightful discovery.
