review 1: I am currently only on chapter 8, however, this book thus far is one giant southern cliche. Perhaps I am not enjoying it as much as others because this is not my typical genre & I actually live in Georgia but folks, there is and has been more than one street (peachtree) in Atlanta for a long time. And a bed of magnolia leaves? ... More likely pine needles. Anyway, the story itself isn't bad, I just wish that writers could get a little more creative when they choose Georgia for their setting.
review 2: This is the first book I in my hands from Renee Irvin,and also one of the first books I have read about life in Southern Orleans. I bought this book for free on Amazon, not because it was free, but because the title attracted me to the book.This book plays in a co... moremplex world of intrigue, drama, suspense, and politics. The story is about the main characters Isabella McCoy and Jacqueline Rousseau, telling you a life lesson: past events influence current and future life, as habits are hard to break.Furthermore, this book is about exposing everyday personalities, living in the South in the old days. Readers learn many things about how life was back then. The author does this by composing personalities that are not flat, but consist of a diversity of dispositions, passions, and desires, and are not shy of communicating their perception on events.What I find truly remarkable throughout the story is that seemingly two exceptionally different characters share one passion in the form of a love-and-hate relationship with Jules McGinnis.This is a remarkable story, told by Renee Irving, that might hard to connect to by anyone who is not familiar with this form of living. But in my opinion, that should not be a reason not to read this book, as it will help your mind create new connections with culture you might never get connected or exposed to in real life. This by itself is a reason for me to give this book 5 stars...We do not have a time-machine in our living room, but the next best thing is Irving telling you this story that will make your mind drift back a few years in history, as well as letting you step into a culture you might not be familiar with. This book is written as though I was watching a movie, as the description of the environment was so detailed that I could visualize the events perfectly.This is an absolute treat to read, and since this ebook ranks pretty high on the Kindle best seller list, I believe it to be a work of art. I would recommend to anyone getting this book, even if you are a bit shy of other cultures in different areas and times. This story might just open your mind to a whole new genre you want to explore. less
