This book had so many holds on it at the library, I didn't think I'd get my hands on it for a YEAR. Which made me conclude that 1) the library had a TON of copies in the system to keep up with its popularity, and 2) people must be flying through it and returning it quickly. So needless to say, I was excited to get going myself.
I can definitely understand why anyone would fly through it. I found myself alone on a very odd Sunday, early evening. We'd had a family event that day, so the kids had gone without naps and were in bed early. My husband was knocked out on Benadryl. All was quiet, and I had no household chores to do since it was Sunday. So I picked up this book and read it. In one sitting.
It's a wonderful book. Full of romance, a little suspense, and a great sense of humor. On the back of the book jacket, there are a few quotes from readers. One says, "This story helped remind me just why I fell in love with my husband...and why I'm still mad crazy about him" I think she summed it up well. It's the best kind of love story: one that reinforces your own.
Ree Drummond's book is also about what really matters, and making choices to have those things over all that glitters.
I've heard of her blog, but never read it. I will definitely be taking a look now. I'm hooked on her writing style, humor and very interesting life...
Most definitely recommend it. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
