Helpful Score: 1

It may be down to my more sedate Northern background, but I didn't care for this book at all. First, as I've mentioned previously in other reviews, first person narrative does nothing for me. It's like listening to or reading a friend's blog. Second, while zany works as a plot point in many other novels, there is far too much of it in this book. Even as a parody of the Southern stereotypes, it took forever for the narrator (Linwood "Lin" Breedlove Scott) to literally exit her car, dodge a mentally ill relative, and get her bags up the steps and into her family home where she's come to roost after an unsavory divorce. I gave in after twenty-six pages. Simply not for me.
