I have just a few minutes to do a quick write-up…

I liked this book. I thought it was a good BOTM pick, and a good pick for summer. I got through it very quickly, it was a quick and easy read.

I enjoyed the story and the characters. For once, it was a book where I didn’t hate 90% of the characters haha! I thought each character had unique personality, and decent development for a fairly simple book. I enjoyed the story overall, and thought it moved well. SAA did a good job of presenting the past combined with the present without all of the annoying ways that so many books mess with time nowadays.

I also preferred Julia’s story more, mostly because she was a grown up. The teen romance thing is kind of cheesy for me, and doesn’t keep me as interested.

I agree with you Mary. I thought the supernatural elements were almost unnecessary. Other than giving Win Coffey’s family a reason to not go out at night. There wasn’t really a whole lot to the supernatural components of the story, and that was probably my least favorite party of the story anyway.

I loved the section that talked about the differences in Southern barbecue. So true! I am not a fan of the “Coastal” or vinegar based barbecue. Grandpa Vance even broke it up into specific North Carolina styles “Lexington” and “Eastern Carolina.” Loved that!

Project 52: Outside looking in 

The days are just flying by this month so I’m behind in my weekly postings. This week’s photo gives you a glimpse into my daily routine. For at least 1 hour a day, I carve out this time to myself for my own health and sanity. You can look in on me working out & catching up on a tv show at breakfast or lunch.
