Search - Between, Georgia

I really didn't enjoy this book much. Gave up on it about halfway through. It's not a bad book, but it's pretty bland, in my opinion.

This book is about a young woman, Nonny Jane Frett, caught between two families in the very small town of Between, Georgia, the Crabtrees, from whom she was stolen, and the Fretts, by whom she was raised. If that wasn't enough cause for drama, throw in the fact that Nonny has two men in her life, Henry Crabtree, who has been in love with her for ages, and Jonno, her husband. This book is filled with unique characters, crazy, deaf, blind, criminal, this book has it all, another great book by Joshilyn Jackson, although I thought 'Gods in Alabama' was far better. This one starts off with a bang, slows down a bit in the middle, then picks up pace at the end, an enjoyable read overall! I'm beginning to like southern fiction.

I love books about the South by Southern authors. This book has the wildest assortment of characters I have seen in a while. It's not my normal Ann Rivers Siddons or Dorthea Benton Frank, but it will take you for a wild ride, and you can't put it down.

Fantastic book!

Fresh-unpredictable-satisfying...the kind of book you hope never ends but can't wait to pass on to friends.
Nonny Frett understands the meaning of the phrase ‘in between a rock and a hard place’ better than any woman alive. She’s got two mothers, ‘one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy.’ She’s got tow men: a husband who’s easing out the back door; and a best friend, who’s laying siege to her heart in her front yard. And she has two families: the Fretts, who stole her and raised her right; and the Crabtrees, who lost her and won’t forget how they were done wrong. Now, in Between, Georgia, population 90, a feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating, and a random act of violence is about to ignite a stash of family secrets. Ironically, it might be just what the town needs…if only Nonny7 weren’t stuck in between.
