This is my first first Jennifer Close and will be my last. This is also my first ever review. I read this over a long holiday weekend and found myself disliking Beth, the character whose voice it is written in. I found her to be a whiny, inexperienced, pathetic character. Think of your thoughts and behavior at age 15-17 years and you have Beth who is now a married supposedly adult person.. The only nice person is Ash and the humor the reviewer must be talking about is her Texan expressions. If you are upset w/politics at the moment this will further upset you.
