I started to write this one last night and had to stop because I just wasn't sure what to say. I genuinely enjoyed this book; it was lovely, and funny and extraordinarily accurate for its place and time. But would others enjoy it as much as I did? I don't know. I know a huge part of why I enjoy...
I really thought this was going to be a little bit more humorous that what it actually was. While it did have some humor towards the middle of the book, I still enjoyed this book very much.

This title is a doozy. Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women’s Literary Society. Well, from here, I’ll just refer it to Miss Dreamsville so I don’t have to keep typing that one out. Haha. This review is actually going to be a bit on the short side. I don’t have much to say in the way of it b...
