Halley gives her shelter, sure, but can’t bring herself to help her sister beyond offering some of the same pat “advice” she gives her celebrity clients, some of whom are slightly more than notorious. So I guess it should come as no shock that as Dawn struggles with entering a “new phase” in her life, she relies heavily on Chuck to comfort and support her as the Tarnauers, as a group, continually fail her. A serious dog lover, Chuck serves as Dawn’s closest ally and companion during this turbulent part of her life. Newly dumped by her boyfriend Paxton, an arrogant radio DJ, Dawn moves into her little sister Halley’s mobile home in Malibu and takes a job at a local veterinary. Walking In Circles Before Lying Down is a look at Dawn’s life as it slowly, but surely, begins to break down. Not even a cute dog could divert my focus from all the other bizarre happenings in this Los Angeles-based novel.Īmong narrator Dawn Tarnauer’s many problems - including a meddling sister, an entrepreneurial mother and a distant jerk of a boyfriend - is one tiny new development: her dog Chuck seems to be talking to her. Sadly, I’d say Merrill Markoe’s Walking In Circles Before Lying Downis proof that just isn’t true. Because one well-placed puppy? He’ll completely capitalize on the attention of your audience, forcing everything in the background to blur. They say dogs and babies will steal a scene every single time - so be careful concerning when you feature them.
