Eh. I probably won't be reading anymore of her books. While I appreciated the easiness of this read I disliked every single character in the book. They were all whiny, immature or just vapid. That's a lie. I liked Moonpie, the English Setter. He reminded me of one of my dogs and showed more personality than his owner, Tate Moody. I was also put off by the obnoxious "dialect" (and I use that term loosely) the author used for her characters. "Daggunnit" is not a word many southerners spout out and I have NEVER heard someone say "swimps" instead of "shrimp." I was insulted. Even though both main characters were well-educated and smart enough to each nab their own cooking shows they still used cliche phrases and their "accents" make them sound illiterate. I would only recommend this if you're completely bored and have started a reading challenge to finish 52 new books in a year.
The worst part? I'm fairly certain that Gina, the female protagonist, has an eating disorder. She always chirps about fresh, local produce and cooking healthy and then we see that she doesn't really eat. If she does, it's pork rinds and diet coke in secret. The two times we see her eat a true meal (breakfast, both times) she is mocked by two separate people...her ex and her potential nemesis/future lover. wtf kind of message is that!?

I waitressed at a diner in Maryland in the 1970s. There are definitely southern folks who say "skrimp" instead of shrimp. I've never heard "swimps." The phrase I heard often was, "I wanna smack up on some skrimps and grape soda." Maybe the Geechee people (those from an island off the coast of Georgia) say "swimps."
