The tawdry sex is bad enough, but I understand that it sells. It boggles the mind that she could even get the book published. You could not pay me to read another book by this author. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could give this inane book no stars, I would. This book was completely ICK! Example: Grandma's best friend tells adult granddaughter how she (friend) had an affair with Granddaughter's Father (bestfriend's son) while he was married to granddaughter's mother. Yikes, this was bad! Full of inappropriate sex, a lame plot, and characters that were supposed to be charming southern crazies, but ended up only crazy. As we all know, that doesn't make a good book - it only grabs your attention. It had an amazingly beautiful cover and an awesome title. I can't even believe that I finished this book. Heading south to Honora's home on the Gulf Coast, Renata is determined to stop feeling like a wilted gardenia and emerge as the unstoppable kudzu her beloved grandmother proudly proclaimed she would be: "I'll just tell you, Sherman may have burned the South, but kudzu will engulf it." But for that to happen Renata's got to face some not-so-genteel ghosts from her past, discover the truth about the mother she desperately misses, and make peace with the first man who abandoned her and broke her heart-her handsome and distant father.


And that was before the tabloids caught her sweetheart, filmmaker Ferg Lauderdale, sharing an intimate squeeze with Hollywood's hottest young tamale.īut the granddaughter of the formidable Honora DeChavannes possesses more hell than belle in her backbone-and she's about to reclaim it. Reeling from the loss of her mother, plagued with a bad case of writer's block (and don't even talk about that extra twenty pounds), Renata DeChavannes feels as though everything is just plain wrong.
