Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) - reviewed on 8/29/2018 + 648 more book reviews

On the surface, this book is a "fish out of water" story - a woman living in a big city moves unexpectedly to a small Southern town and struggles to fit in. I anticipated a "cute" story with quirky characters. This novel provides that ... as well as genuine characters with "real" issues. Topics addressed included racism/discrimination/segregation, embezzlement, and community spirit - all in just 200 pages.

The primary story line: Will the main character stay in Green, LA to run the twice-weekly newspaper or will she move on to greener pastures? The ending was predictable as this is book 1 of a five-book series, all with Green in the title. LOL I enjoyed the strong female characters and learning more about newspaper publishing in a small town.
