But now, Searcy has a teeny, tiny problem. Her husband’s had a mid-life crisis. He’s quit his job, cancelled her credit cards, and left her for another man.
Searcy returns to Fairhope, ready to lick her wounds. But when her mother falls ill, she’s thrust into managing the family business—only to discover the beloved bakery is in danger of closing its doors forever.
Enlisting the help of the adorable bike store owner next door, an array of well-heeled customers, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Searcy hatches the plan of the century to save Pie Girls.
~~I received this in exchange for an honest review~~
This book was a great read!! I liked this book a whole bunch!! You have a woman, who is spoiled to the bone. She shops when ever she wants and has a husband that has no problem with it. They were high school sweethearts. They got married and have been married for 10 years. Everything is perfect is Searcy's world, that is until her husband goes missing, and doesn't show up for hours. When he does, Searcy's world comes crashing down. He is leaving her. So she goes back home to see her momma, help in the bakery, and find who she really is. But, can she go back to her life that she doesn't know? Can she forgive Alton for what he has done? Or will she just give up?
I gave this book 4.5 stars, I like this book a whole bunch!! It made me laugh, cry, and get angry. It also annoyed me a little bit. In the beginning, Searcy is literally a spoiled rotten brat. She doesn't want to go back to the small town that she grew up in. She wants her Prada, Gucci, and her Chanel. I was really annoyed that she thinks that, that is important stuff. But the wake up call that she gets in the book is great! She not only realizes that she needs to grow up, but she needs to step off the pedestal that she has placed herself on. A little country air, and down home manners does her good!! I think that if you haven't read this book, you need to sit down with a glass of wine and read it! At the end, you can get some recipies for some pie! I know I am going to try to make one of them!!

I love her books!
ReplyDeleteI am going to read her other books too! I really liked this one!!
DeleteThank you SO much, Kelly! LOVE the cute nerdy glasses :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you liked PIE GIRLS and Searcy's story! I'll admit it was a gamble to write about a girl so spoiled that you wanted to give her a spanking, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. There was so much for Searcy to learn and so much growing for her to do. Fairhope is also a real place, about 30 minutes from my city of Mobile, Alabama! It's positively gorgeous there, just the perfect setting for the story!
Many, many thanks! If you're looking for your next LC read, I think you'd like Julia in Dancing Naked in Dixie. She's even more fun, and not spoiled at all... I promise.
xxx, Lauren
Lauren,I will check out Dancing Naked in Dixie! I have a really good friend that is from Alabama, so I know how beautiful it is. He shows me pictures. Thanks for like the nerdy glasses, my friend Tabby made the tags for me. I do not have a creative bone in my body when it comes to that! I can't wait to read more of your work!!
