About this ebook

A woman at her wit’s end discovers that a little attitude goes a long way in this small-town Southern romantic comedy.

Marilee Abernathy’s life is a mess. Everyone in Chickpea, South Carolina, knows about her husband’s affair with the town floozy. Even her dignified farewell—complete with pearls and impeccably applied Mary Kay cosmetics—turns into to a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to hang herself from a fake ceiling beam. Now Marilee figures there must be a better way to cope.

All she needs is a new attitude—at least that’s what Marilee’s neighbor Sam Brewer thinks. Unfortunately, between his demanding mother and his crazy ex-wife, he’s in no position to help her find one. Even still, Marilee starts taking charge and taking chances she’d never imagined. And watching her blossom reminds Sam of some long-forgotten dreams of his own. Now he’s just got to convince her to turn some of that attitude his way . . .

    I enjoyed this book! It was one of those where I "moved in" with the characters and enjoyed spending time in their world. There are no really bad guys, just folks all doing the best they can and having some crazy adventures. Very fun small-town Southern story.

    As an aside, I was very excited to see the word "goozle" used in this book--okay so I'm a word nerd. (The undertaker says, "You know, hose down a body, stick 'em in the goozle, and drain the good stuff.") Goozle is a word my family has used for years but I had never heard anyone else use it and never seen it in print. It's a great word! (I did finally look it up in an unabridged dictionary and there it was! It can also be gozzle or guzzle. Means gullet or throat.)
