Sage's best friend George is too kindhearted to tell her she can't write; he's also in love with her but can't tell her that, either. This comedy-romance is sometimes unwieldly but fun to read, and truth be told, the generous excerpts from Sage's magnum opus, Angelica and the Seminole Indians, are the best part. The range and variety of Sage's missteps, mistakes, and mixed metaphors would provide excellent fodder for a composition class.
