A Southern Girl Re-Belles, Sharon Brown Keith

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Romance, General Fiction ( adult)

I was intrigued by this one but it was a fail for me.
I didn't like Abby right from the start when she gets her very pregnant friend to say she was driving as Abby had been drinking. I hate stuff like that, and it put me off her. I could understand why her best friends husband doesn't like her. As the story continued, more came out about Abby and she felt to me like one of those folk who blame everything on to others, and never look at themselves.
I was looking forward to seeing Bo too, but I've read to 25% and he still hasn't appeared ( I checked, its at 38% he first comes in). I just don't like Abby enough to continue with the story, I can't bring myself to wait to see what happens to her. What I know of her grandmother didn't endear her to me either, I found her antics annoying rather than humorous. Maybe I'll pick this up another time and try again, maybe I'm just not in the right mood but for now this is a DNF.

Stars: Two, just not one for me.

I am 22% of the way through this book (eReader) and the entire story has been the main character recounting her tragic back story. We have not even heard a whisper of a leading man yet. Just tragedy and back story from a main character who is (22% into the book) a selfish, immature, alcoholic who laughs at crashing her car into a nativity display while driving drunk with her pregnant best friend in the car.

I mean...I'm done. Putting this in the DNF pile and moving on.
