Book Description:

Welcome to the world of Mary Kay Andrews, where manners are polished, reputations are tarnished ... and revenge issweet.

Keeley Murdock's wedding to A. J. Jernigan should have been the social event of the season. But when she catches her fiance doing the deed with her maid of honor at the country club rehearsal dinner, all bets are off. And so is the wedding. Keeley pitches the hissy fit of the century, earning herself instant notoriety in the small town of Madison, Georgia.

Even worse is the financial pressure A.J.'s banking family brings to bear on Keeley's interior design business. But riding to the rescue -- in a vintage yellow Cadillac -- is the redheaded stranger who's purchased a failing local bra plant. Will Mahoney hires Keeley to redo the derelict antebellum mansion he's bought. Her assignment: decorate it for the woman of his dreams -- a woman he's never met.

Only a designing woman like Keeley Murdock can find a way to clear her name and give her cheating varmint of an ex-fiance the comeuppance he so richly deserves. And only Mary Kay Andrews can deliver such delicious social satire. With Hissy Fit, she's created a story as outrageous, dishy, and true as Savannah Blues and Little Bitty Lies.

Keeley Murdock is made a fool of at her wedding rehearsal by the groom to be. So instead of marrying the cheating groom, she has a Hissy Fit. Everyone in town thinks she is crazy for not forgiving and forgetting, but Keeley stands her ground.

Hissy Fit is a fun novel about a Southern girl who refuses to take it anymore.

I really enjoyed reading this book. At some points it felt predictable but that didn't stop me from loving it.

Mary Kay Andrews is yet to let me down. This is a real pager turner. Easy, light and laugh out loud. You couldn't ask for more from a book.

This is a great and quick read, nice and light-hearted. My sister bought this book because we are from Madison, GA, and she wanted to see how well the town was represented. The author did a good job in our opinions, and the plantation house that is being restored in the story is actually based on one that is near where we grew up. I am looking forward to more of her stories!
