I enjoyed this. It was a fast read. Jen Nakamura Taylor grew up in a small southern town, where her half Japanaese heritage always bothered her. She has been "in love" with the same local boy since 4th grade and gets a wedding invitation from her spoiled cousin who is marrying - guess who??? She needs a date for the wedding and ends up taking a co-worker, who she has a crush on. Between the drive to the wedding, the car breaking down, visiting Graceland and seeing the multi Elvis's (Elvii??), the trip itself has her on the verge. She finally arrives to find that her 4th grade boyfriend is showing an interest in her. Loved the wedding!!!

A fast read, good characters, fun book.

There were many times that I laughed out loud while reading this book, because, as a Southerner, it's amusing to read things and understand their quirks, if only because you live that way, too. :) And I thought Riley was fecthing! Haha.

Still, as a previous poster said, I felt like the dialogue kept repeating itself - especially the parts where the mother and grandmother kept saying "Ya-shee!" or something to that effect. It was funny, and it did add to the character of the book, but after awhile I was wondering if that's all the mother knew to say at times.

It was an enjoyable read and very quick! You can start it by midday and finish it like two hours later.

I absolutely adored this novel. It's funny, it's quirky, you fall in love with the characters, and if you're from the south, you'll end up rolling around laughing. It was an easy, quick read that I thouraghly enjoyed!

Not being a big fan of books with romantic themes I was not sure if I would like this story, but I enjoyed it tremendously! All of Cara Lockwood's characters are so unique, and I'm sure many of us can relate to the eccentric relatives in her family that the main character is embarrassed by but also loves at the same time. Jen, the main character, must make a journey home to a place she wants to forget, but once she is there she realizes that it is a part of her still, and that makes her who she is. Cara Lockwood is very funny also, I laughed through the whole book! I definitely recommend it!

This is one of those books that you laugh outloud! i really enjoyed it from cover to cover.

Really cute book, I enjoyed the authors' characters and the story line.
