(AudioBook) Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson
I just finished listening to this. Very well done, the author reads this herself, I have to admit that did like the reader for Gods In Alabama more. I liked the story, I thought Nonny was a very likable character, but I didn’t like this book as much as I wanted to – I definitely preferred the first. This one ended all tied up in a pretty bow and there just wasn’t any suspense in it for me. Having said that, I grew up in a small town in SC and this was again, set in a small southern town, so I could totally identify with a lot of things here. Good read, I will be reading the book when I get my hands on it as well

DESCRIPTION:
Nonny Frett understands the meanings of “rock” and “hard place” better than any woman ever born. She’s got two mothers, “one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy”. She’s got two men: her husband, who’s easing out the back door; and her best friend, who’s laying siege to her heart in her front yard. She has a job that holds her in the city, and she’s addicted to a little girl who’s stuck deep in the country. To top it off, she has two families: the Fretts, who stole her and raised her right; and the Crabtrees, who lost her and can’t forget that they’ve been done wrong. In Between, Georgia, population 90, a feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating, and a random act of violence will set the torch to a 30-year-old stash of highly flammable secrets. This might be just what the town needs, if only Nonny wasn’t sitting in the middle of it.
