Despite a significant body count in the first few chapters, “The Road to Tender Hearts” is one of the funniest, sweetest, and best books I’ve read this year. Those two descriptions really shouldn’t go together, but when the writer is as talented as Annie Harnett is, she can get away with it.

The plot and characters are complex here, so buckle in.
