OK episodic stories typical of late '70s SF area. Like soap opera to a degree but very readable.

I'm glad I finally read this, but am disappointed that the quality of the writing fell so below the hype. Still, I found myself caught up with the characters and enjoyed picturing all of the locations.

3rd in the tales of the city series. This one has Michael reunited with a long lost love. Brian andary Ann getting engaged. And the return of Dede Day which is the major point of this novel.
