I listened to this book in the car during my commute to work. What a fun read, I couldn't wait to get in the car in the morning & I couldn't wait to head home...and I stayed off the phone & didn't do my customary 'returning of the personal calls' during the commute either. I loved this book from the start. I haven't read Andrews before and now I will order her other books for my beach vacations or when I'm in a mood to listen to something fun & entertaining. I am southern, currently living in Atlanta and TOTALLY identify with the story. I KNOW these women. I liked the little side tracks in the plot. I don't care for stories that are so focused that there are no complications. I loved that I felt Rhett Butler would show up at any moment. It is a typical beach read for me - lots of characters that I could see in my mind. The only character I had a problem with was the Atlanta lawyer - she was supposedly bright but her dialogue was stilted and vapid. I just am not sure any female big city lawyer in a big city firm is going to be that shallow. BUT, other than that, I loved reading this book and I will read her others.
