When Meg comes to Texas for her best friend Lucy's wedding, she meets Lucy's perfect fiancé Ted. Lucy is perfect, Ted is perfect and their relationship seems perfect, but Meg picks up on something that feels wrong. She discusses all this with Lucy the night before the wedding and then on the day of the wedding, Lucy calls it off and runs off. Tthe doubts that Meg confronted her with have been plaguing her for a while. But in Wynette, Texas, Ted is the local hero/God and they all blame Meg for him being left at the altar and for his broken heart.

Circumstances beyond Meg's control leave her stranded and broke in Wynette. While she tries to make enough money to get out of town, the folks of Wynette and Ted himself take pleasure in tormenting the outsider. Their antics and attitudes both frustrated and humored me.

I loved this book. I laughed out loud and shed a few tears. Reading this book was like visiting with old friends you haven't seen in a while, yet feeling like no time has passed. I have been 1/2 in love with Teddy since he was a brilliant and awkward little boy in Fancy Pants and I fell completely in love with the man that little boy has grown into. Catching up with favorite characters from my favorite SEP books was fun and I loved every minute of it. Meg is crazy and quirky and the perfect match for the reliable Ted; Ying and Yang.

I can't wait to read Lucy's story as SEP promises it is in the works. I hope it is as charming as this one was.

If you love SEP books, you won't be disappointed. It's fun to watch the romance evolve between 2 flawed but lovable characters. Bringing back lots of characters from previous novels is an extra treat, especially Ted's parents, Francesca and Dallie Beaudine from Fancy Pants. It stands alone though, if you haven't read Fancy Pants, Lady Be Good, and Glitter Baby. The plot has romance, mystery, and humor while dealing with very current political and economic issues like the economy and environmental waste. Hard to put down from the very beginning, this feel good story is a perfect escapism and has hysterically funny dialogue and great sexual tension. Loved it!!

Warning. Couldnt stop but for work. Read his book in 10 hours. Loved the Meg character, felt indignation for her, but wish Ted was drawn out more in the first 2/3rd of the book.

If you are fan of SEP's stories, you will likely enjoy this one. However, don't expect anything different or unique. It's your standard fair, down and out girl runs out of money, is humiliated over and over, yet uses grit and wits to survive, pretty boy love interest hates her at first, humiliates her as well, learns more about her, then falls in love. She's written essentially the same story several times in the past....but still, if you like that formula, this is a good story.

Many of the characters from former books appeared. I do not read SEP often enough to remember them all or what their stories were, but that was okay, I didn't feel like I need to go and pull out a previous book to follow.

Most of the book is written in Meg first person, and I do wish we'd had more of Teddy through out, but I did truly enjoy the ending.

Standard SEP fare. Enjoyable, but not something I'd every re-read.
