Synopsis

Gold medal winner of the 2024 Gold Benjamin Franklin Award for Humor Crazy. Stupid. Rich.When a neurotic statistics geek gets invited to his twenty-five-year high school reunion, he spends his life savings remaking his identity to wow his old classmates. Only one tiny problem: his new persona gets him mistaken for a drug kingpin and sends him running for his life with the very people who used to make it miserable. Santa Ana is an absurdly hilarious, irreverent, and magical tale about the masks we wear … and those strange California winds that blow them all asunder.

A case of mistaken identity causes a major kerfuffle at a highschool reunion.

Having said that it felt very choppy and kind of all over the place, Like if......more

Goodreads review by Marcia on May 10, 2023

Santa Ana by Addison J. Chapple is a book that defies most logic and convention and any amount of normalcy. It’s told in alternating voices between several of the different characters and one whose identity remains hidden until the very end. It’s a madcap adventure full of improbabilities and ridicu......more
