About this ebook

If you know the song, you know Brandy' s sailor loved the sea more than her. (The bastard.) Brandy, You' re a Fine Girl is historical fan fiction, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the 1972 hit song. Brandy' s story doesn' t end when the music stops — her destiny is filled with adventure!Barmaid Brandy seizes on a plan to become that good wife and escape her life of drudgery. A pregnancy would be just the thing to get him to marry her. When that doesn' t work, she crosses paths with Elliot, a nobleman in need of a wife and heir by his fast-approaching 30th birthday, or else his inheritance will go to his scheming cousin Clarence.Once married, Elliot' s problems appear solved, and Brandy has a kind husband and a warm and comfy new home, even if it is full of Elliot' s odd band of friends. Everyone tries to get along and put up with Brandy' s strange cravings and profanity-laden drama, until they discover she was never really pregnant. When Elliot' s handsome best friend Beau shows up, Brandy promptly falls head over heels. She becomes pregnant, but will it be too late? Swearing she can live on love, Brandy dreams of running o? with Beau, until she discovers a shocking secret about her husband and his best friend.The #1 hit song, Brandy, You' re a Fine Girl, was written and composed by Elliot Lurie and recorded by his band, Looking Glass.

    I found the title character, Brandy, self-ish and self centered. To get that irritated by a character, as if she were a real person, does show she was believedly written. The book was told primarily in first person narrative by Brandy of the numerous events and misfortunes taking place and leading to the final resolution of the problem the sparked the tale. It was almost as if you were reading a letter from someone far away telling about a series of events. I felt I didn't get to really know the rest of the characters as much as I would have liked becasue I only saw them through Brandy's eyes, although their fundamental characters did come through. Themes of family and friendship abound and do make you think about how they are defined, what they mean, and what they really entail. I feared a totally unsatisfactory ending but happily was proven wrong.

    This was a great story for those not easily offended. I loved it! For those who remember the song this was a fine ending to what happens to Brandy after her sailor sails away leaving her with a locket on the chain that turns her neck green. This is a Tom Jones like fairy tale filled with odd characters that show what can make a real family when the actual one doesn't create the safe space you might need.
