“I enjoy a Southern chick lit book every once in a while. This one was a good diversion from all the serious stuff. Love te characters. This is the second in the series that I have read. Even though I am a born and bred Yankee, I have always wished I was a southern belle and that is why I so enjoy these books !”

But one of the things I like about it is that these ladies are gusty, they withstood the test of time. I can relate to the divorceing, the cheating, domestic abuse, drinking; just another color; the money part no I cannot, but I sure can fantasize along with them. Great reading and the groom, loved him in the end. ”

Georgia has been told by her daughter that she plans to marry 60 year old Wade. Wade is Callie's father best friend. Needless to say, Georgia is none to happy about this. She tries to think of ways to make this wedding not happen. Wade is a recovering alocholic and is just not the type of man she imagine her daughter to be with.
Against the advice of her friends she gets someone to delve into Wade's background. Or rather she asks her friend to find someone for her. She justifies this action thinking that its her job as a mother to find out if Wade has any skeltons in his closet. Eventually Callie finds the file and completely blows up at the mother. Stating that she no longer had a mother and that she did not want her attending any of the engagement parties or the wedding.
At the suggestion of her husband Georgia attends the next event. And though Callie is still giving her the cold shoulder, she agreed mostly because Wade asked her to, to let her be apart of the events but that it didn't mean that there relationship has changed, Georgia is still disowned as her mother.
Finally on the day of the wedding mother and daughter make a mend. The truth about Wade and all the questionable things in his past are pieced together.
The highlights of this book for me were the parts that included the Red Hat Club meetings, especially the jokes.

“I've really enjoyed this series. Good, fun Southern fiction. These ladies feel like old friends. I want to meet them for lunch at the Swan Coach house. This may be my favorite of the series. It makes me want to go back and read the others again, since I read them a few years ago. ”

“I'm not in love with this book. Being from the south I generally enjoy southern based books and southern references, and this did have some cute and funny moments, but all in all, when I was hoping for Fannie Flagg, I was disappointed. It was an ok read, but not one I'd recommend if there is anything else out there.”
