Thanks for reading. There are a lot of good books out there like Summer Sisters that, in my opinion, are better written. But I did hear one thing recently that has made me wonder if I should go back and look at this book in a different light...I heard it was originally pitched as a young adult number and eventually became what it is now. Curiouser and curiouser...there are a great many books set in that area of the states that hold my attention better. I'll be curious to see what you end up reading! Hi Kamala! Thanks for reading.

But these books sound rather boring and depressing. Thanks for the reviews and warning. Now I don't want to read them.

Call me a book snob, but these are adult women who spent the last few months having book club discussions about those piece of crap Stephanie Meyers books. You have inspired me to run off and write a blogpost about this.
