Helpful Score: 1
Enjoyable, but maybe a little too reminiscent of Steel Magnolias. The next door neighbor in this book seemed *just* like Ousier. I feel like this is a story that has been told a million times over with only a slight tweak in the characterization. Still, an excellent feel-good book for when you're having a lot of self doubt, full of quotable affirmations and "girl power".
I should also mention that I'm REALLY happy with the author's descriptions of Savannah. I can't tell you how many novels I have read where the author tries to capture the general idea of the city and just mucks it all up because they have an intimate knowledge. As a person who lived in the area for the better part of ten years, I can safely say that Hoffman hit the mark precisely when it came to painting an accurate picture of the appearance and geography of Savannah.
