This one just gets an okay, for easy to read and light hearted. Janey is painfully shy, her great aunt who is coarse, but love-able enters her in a contest to win a house. Another woman with the same name decides to also win the house. She has a history of poor decisions, from shoplifting to abusive boyfriends. They become best of friends and look out for each other, a bit hokey. Don't take this one too seriously, in the years that I lived in Maine, I never met a local who paid for restaurant lobster, the mark-up is ridiculous. Plenty of random crudity (not too heavy) and lusting after random men. If you can put your logic on hold, it is an easy read.

I really enjoyed this book! It was fun, light, and the perfect summer read. Lots of parts seemed unrealistic or unlikely, but it didn't bother me, I loved it anyway. The characters were funny and interesting and the story kept me reading.

Being from Iowa (not all that far away from Cedar Falls) it was fun seeing names of towns and businesses from around here.

I can't wait to see what else this author comes up with in the future!
