Is she really going to do that?'.Serve as tasty bite-size chapters in a novel dish of mayhem and madness with a side of Country music and Bollywood dancing.

My Thoughts: This was a fun little Rom-Com. I was kind of excited about it because it's set in the south, where I have lived my entire life. True, it's set in Nashville, TN and I live in South Carolina, but the cultures are very similar. It was interesting reading about the food and the people and nodding my head thinking, "Yeap, I know people just like that." So, yeah, that was fun! I couldn't find information on the author anywhere online, but I'm guessing the author is very familiar with the Nashville culture and the stereotypical people there, because they were described in great detail throughout the book. Unfortunately, I wasn't so excited about the writing. I was frustrated with the tense. It was written in first person past tense until the author started describing something and then it switched to present tense. It may have been because that wall is still currently green, but it was very distracting as a reader. There were also quite a few grammatical errors that kept pulling my attention away from the story. The characters were fun, but very predictable. I probably would not recommend this book to anyone and would give it two stars.
