Sie sind gierig nach romantischen Gefühlen, aber gefangen in Zeiten pornografischer Abgeklärtheit. Sie haben keine Ahnung, was sie mit ihrem Leben anstellen sollen, und sorgen sich um ihr Gewicht und wie sie in weißen Bikinis aussehen. Sie treffen ständig schlechte Entscheidungen und sind sich selbst ihr schlimmster Feind. Die orientierungslosen jungen Frauen in "Always Happy Hour" verbringen ihre besten Jahre in Shopping Malls, Drogerien, Karaoke-Bars und Fast-Food-Restaurants, wo sie zu viel Alkohol trinken und komplizierte Gespräche über Essen führen. So damit beschäftigt, irgendwelchen Männern zu gefallen, merken sie gar nicht, wie egal ihnen diese Männer eigentlich sind. Mary Miller beschreibt eine atemlose Gegenwart, die keine Zukunft kennt.

Combining hard-edged prose and savage Southern charm, Mary Miller showcases transcendent contemporary talent at its best.
