Book Reviews of Hissy Fit

A good read, especially if you know about antiques and decorating, and even if you aren'tt, it's still fun to read and figure out what things really are.

I dont like to read yearning, burning romances. This is NOT one of those. The back cover has a review that accurately tells it all,"the right combination of romance, mystery, and sharp funny writing." Not one of those themed mysteries either. (I do like those). It is a book with a blend of reality that is refreshing and not painted on screwball dialogue or situations. But you always got to have a dog and a gay best friend, too. The characters are memorable and distinct from each other. Add what I have to say with some of the other summaries and I think you will, get the idea that this book is worth reading.

Once again Mary Kay Andrews has written a fantastic book and it is so different from her others. Loved it!!!!

Hissy Fit will actually be an excellent read for those who DON'T prefer a lot of romance in their novels.

There was much to enjoy in this book; Keely is lead character who is smart and good at her job, doesn't take any crap from the man who does her wrong (not wishy washy) and doesn't let others bully her. I really appreciated that Mary Kay Andrews wrote a character that I really liked.

The book focuses on the restoration of an old plantation home which I think many readers would enjoy. But I found myself skimming the last fourth portion of the book once I realized there would be no development in the romantic relationship between Keeley and Will. Their romance consisted of three pages although I will admit it was a sweet three pages.

Anyway, if you are a reader of straight up romance novels I would not recommend Hissy Fit. But for you other readers, I think it would be a great novel.

This was one of the funniest books I had read in a long time. One of the authors best.
Small town people in messy life situations, each following their own drummer. Anyone who grew up in a small southern or midwest town will recognize people from their past. Loved it.

One of the most enjoyable reads I've read in a long time. It starts out with a bang and doesn't stop.

First book I read of hers. Love this author! Her characters are the best!!

This book cracked me up! I loved how Keeley told her cheating fiance to stick it, even though he kept trying to come back after cheating with her best friend! I couln't put this one down!

I LOVED this book - I thought it was just going to be "fluff" but it had a great story to it and it actually took me several days to finish (im a speed reader) so that was a plus!

FUN! Mary Kay Andrews is hilarious. This is the second of her books that I've read, and they were both wonderfully funny, and fully of great, well-developed characters. The main character is very likeable and someone who most people will relate to on some level.

This is definitely a chick-lit, vacation, read-on-the-beach type of book. It's a quick, enjoyable read. Not too heavy, not a lot of work to plow through it, just an entertaining story. I want to get another of this author's books immediately!

This story has all the necessary ingredients for an entertaining read. Difficult to put down because you want to see how the heroine gets herself into and out of the situations. Rather like Danielle Steel in that it's difficult to imagine this happening in "real life", but that's what makes it so entertaining. Who hasn't wanted to throw an honest to goodness hissy fit.............but doesn't because it's not the thing to do?!

Excellent entertaining read that makes you want to catch up on the characters in the next book........and the next.

First time I have read Mary Kay Andrews book and I thought this was one of the funniest books I had read in a long time. Couldn't stop laughing.

Hissy Fit is an easy read, perfect for a warm summer's day. It's fun, entertaining, and has an eccentric cast of characters. I plan to look for more books written by Mary Kay Andrews.

Loved this! Ordered more by the same author. Lots of fun.

Great book. Very funny.

Good read,loved it

The night before her wedding, in the middle of the rehearsal dinner, interior decorator Keeley Murdock finds her fiance and her maid of honor in a compromising position. Keeley throws a hissy fit to end all hissy fits and storms out.
Now she has to deal not only with a broken engagement but also with "financial blacklist" in a town financially obligated to her ex's family. Rescue comes in the form of the new owner of a local bra plant, who hires Keeley to redo the antebellum mansion he's bought for the woman of his dreams--someone he's never met.
Only a designing woman like Keeley can revive her business, give her ex-fiance the comeuppance he deserves...and ride off into the sunset with a man who drives a vintage yellow Cadillac.

Hilarious story of a bride who finds her intended in a compromising position on the night of the rehearsal dinner!! Of course she calls it off, but since HE is related to everyone in town, she ends up being blacklisted! Hilarious story of revenge and healing!

A hoot and a hollar and half step more! I enjoyed this so much! The author has a good "voice" for us to read!

I absolutely loved it! Full of southern charm. What a great read--funny & memorable.

Great!!! Mary Kay Andrews strikes again with her quick wit, memorable characters and southern storytelling.

Loved it!!! I will likely read all of Mary Kay Andrews books. This was a lighthearted humorous southern book.

Loved this book. well written, good story line, and was funny. Recommend this highly

This book is a really cute southern gal love story for the young modern woman.

The night before her wedding, in the middle of the rehearsal dinner, the main character finds her fiance and maid of honor in a compromising position . . .

Plus, this book has an interesting sub-plot not normally in this type of literature.

Keeley is reeling from a broken engagement and is on the town's blacklist. She finds salvation in a restoration project of an antebellum mansion.

"A truly rollicking tale, if you are interested in interior design, southern manners, heartache, romances, or just a well-told story, HISSY FIT is for you." -Charlotte Observer

Laughed all the way through it...........

I loved this book! Great writer, can't wait to read more by her. Keeley Murdock (main character) throws the ultimate hissy fit, and you cheer her on the whole way!

I enjoyed the book. I thought it was very funny.

I love Mary kay Andrews. Hissy Fit was hilarious!

This book is a fast, fun read. Any one who has ever "lost it" or really wanted to, will relate.

I did find myself giggling now and then. Was a good read.

Just couldn't get into it...

This book captures the true essence of a "Southern Lady". I'm a Georgia girl so I can relate. I just loved this book! It was entertaining from beginning to end!

A fun, quick read and if you enjoy hunting antiques, so much the better.

This book is more of Keely determining what happened to her mother who has been missing for the last 25 years. It's a good book.

Great book! Laughed a lot.

Laugh out Loud funny!!!!

"...oozes the aroma of magnolia blossoms." (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION) So, it's not cigarette smoke you smell on the book.

Mary Kay Andrews (alter ego of Kathy Hogan Trocheck) was discovered via recommendation from a friend. Hissy Fit is set in Georgia. Opening chapter tells about a bride to be at her rehearsal dinner doing through the motions of greeting all her guests. She then discovers her groom doing the nasty with her maid of honor...that's where the title comes in - she pitches a true southern Hissy Fit. The book is filled with true Georgia charm with alot of laugh out loud moments.

great if you have any interest in antebellum mansions of the South

A little bit slow to read

I laughed out loud reading this book!

I seriously loved this book. Seriously.

Fun and Sassy!

The night before her wedding Keeley finds her husband to be and maid of honor in a compromising position and throws the hissy fit of all time. The grooms family tries to run her and her interior decorating business out of town but rescue comes in the form of the new owner of the "bra plant" as Keeley is given the job of redoing his antebellum plantation for the woman of his dreams. Very entertaining.

If you like your mystery and romance southern fried, this is the author for you. And Hissy Fit is one of her best! Keeley Murdock is an interior decorator with a problem fiance, a missing mother, a quirky florist/friend, and a big project on her hands. Southern charm and antiquing add interesting background detail to this very witty cozy.

A good fast read. Great chick lit.

I really enjoyed reading this book.

Cute book.

This was a fun read. I enjoyed the main characters and I looked forward to seeing how the book ended, so it was hard for me to put the book down for things like making dinner and going to bed.

A fun, easy read! I loved it and breezed right though it. Cute story.

Very funny book.

My first read of Mary Kay Andrews. I liked this book. It had some things to think about, but was still entertaining.

This book is awesome, Its soo funny, your gonna LOVE it

Fun read but I'm left feeling like it could have been better. For the most part, I didn't feel the romance that came together at the end was really supported by the plot.

Not too bad. Good storyline. Has some typos.

This was the best book i have read for sometime!I loved the sweet southern characters!It had everything even a little mystery thrown in.Its a great story with lovable characters...

This chick-lit is a great read! I read it in a day on the beach this summer!

I enjoyed the book for what it was, a little light chic lit fun. I've read better and I have read much worse, definitely a little fun in this one.
