Review ~ Pie Girls by Lauren Clark

Princess, Southern belle, and spoiled-rotten social climber Searcy Roberts swore on a stack of Bibles she’d never return home to Fairhope, Alabama. After marrying her high school sweetheart and moving to Atlanta, Searcy embraces big-city life—Carrie Bradshaw style.

But now, Searcy has a teeny, tiny problem. Her husband’s had a mid-life crisis. He’s quit his job, cancelled her credit cards, and left her for another man.

Searcy returns to Fairhope, ready to lick her wounds. But when her mother falls ill, she’s is thrust into managing the family business—only to discover the beloved bakery is in danger of closing its doors forever.

Enlisting the help of the adorable bike store owner next door, an array of well-heeled customers, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Searcy hatches the plan of the century to save Pie Girls.

My Thoughts:

I was hooked at the beginning despite not caring for the heroine at all. This is an exceptional story of hurt, denial, growth, acceptance, love, honesty, family, hard work, friendship, and of course pies!

By the end of the book, Searcy really grew on me as she grew into the woman that she was meant to be and became true to herself.

She married the wrong man for the wrong reasons and was never really happy in her marriage. Basically she settled and things are now starting to crumble and come to light.

At the same time her life as she knows it falls apart, her mama calls and asks her to come home. Mama Maggie doesn't tell Searcy that she is extremely sick.

Oh did I mention that there is an absolutely wonderful bike shop owner next to the pie shop? Luke is not only good looking, he is helpful, caring and compassionate.

I don't want to give everything away. This is just a great story.

If the blurb sounds good to you, try it. You'll like it!

I received an ecopy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion. I really liked it. It was different and it tugged on many of my emotions in addition to having me laugh A LOT!

C.C. was vile and Precious was not at all precious in any way. ;-)
