review 1: A more appropriate title for this book would be, Confessions of a Designer Shoe Diva. I know McCorkindale is trying to be funny, but it's just overkill. Stop whining about ruining your designer shoes and get yourself some farm-type footwear. Problem solved! I had to stop reading the little footnotes (which in the beginning I thought were very clever) about half way through because they became too annoying. In the end I didn't like her or her family or her humor, but the farm seemed very nice.
review 2: I wanted to like this more. I love first person, experience books. Fish out of water or learning to thrive in a foreign environment books tend to speak to my soul. The first few chapters I found Ms McCorkindale humorous and maybe even endearing but her sto... morerytelling quickly became forced and out of touch. She talks about "country life" but has every store and amenity within a half hour of her farm. She is obsessed with strange fashion--stilettos, leather-- not really very relateAble or even funny. Her voice didn't feel sincere and the humor was often forced. I liked that she called her husband Hemingway. He was an interesting character to me, but everyone else became annoying. I liked the cover picture. The use of footnotes brought a few humorous moments. That was about it. Not a fan. less
