Between, Georgia

I've been doing an internship at the library for a few weeks now. Every week I bring home a stack of books. This week I checked out seven. While shelving books if something catches my eye, I put it aside. If I read the back cover or some random page and it hooks me in, then I take it home with me and we curl up together under the covers. Here's why I choose this book:

Nonny Frett knows the meaning of "rock" and "hard place" better than any woman ever born. She's got two mothers, "one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy."

I live in a small place like Between, Georgia and my mama's side is like the Fretts while my daddy's side is Crabtree to the core. Give Bernese 5 or 6 husbands, OCD, and paranoia and she'd be my Grandmother. Heck the book's even got fourth cousins, three times removed, hooking up. It's like Joshilyn Jackson was spying on us 'cept for my cousin married his first cousin, no times removed.

The female characters are strong, independent, fierce, and loving. The dialogue is laugh out loud funny. I would have preferred for the whole man rescues woman via love-gasm thing to have been left out, but this is definitely a two thumbs up beach read type of book.
