This book has more similes than a 9th grade English assignment on descriptive writing, and if I had to read one more “I think I‘m southern if I can‘t say a sentence without some goofy expression” page I would have exploded like a too-ripe watermelon dropped from the back of the truck on a bumpy road heading to market. Sheesh!
Read Flannery O‘Connor - skip this one. #24in2024 number 9 also #doublespin

Sassy_Steph Great name! I always think parents should pick a baby‘s name by putting it in a simple sentence that I call my baby name test! Does it sound good in the sentence: this is my best friend so in so, see it sounds good with Emmett you can picture someone one day saying this is my best friend Emmett! Good choice!! 7y

A beautifully written southern novel with humor, compassion, devotion, heartbreak and love. This is a very sweet story about the importance of family and close friendships that touches your soul. If you're looking for a heart-warming summer read this is it. #dearcarolina #kristywoodsonharvey #summer #family

This was an amazing book. Reading from the Jodi and Khakki's viewpoints at the same time was so moving. The message that they left for Carolina was so simple but also so difficult to realize. Loved this book!

Khaki is the ultimate sanctimommy. Her chapters are almost as grating as Jodi's. The things I do for my book club...
