I saw mention of this one in a facebook group, although I can't remember exactly why it was talked about or recommended, I just remember thinking it sounded humorous and I wanted to give it a shot.
Hilarity sprung from page one.
Now, let me start by saying this is the kind of humor or book for people who enjoy the Stephanie Plum books: things don't always make sense, but they happen anyhow (Flamingos living at the house?), underdramatic or overdramatic scenes (Oh... he fell through that hole and died... huh... ), and pissing contests between catty women. Oh! and some snappy dialogue.
The difference here, is that Agnes isn't trying to be something she isn't– she isn't trying to solve murders or having to be saved because she's being stupid. Agnes is trying to host a wedding and cook up a storm, but people are trying to kill her. The problem I have with some romance books is how stupid the heroine can be, but Agnes is just normal. She's a breath of fresh air... especially since she does have anger issues... for a good reason.
I loved the main characters, disliked how lack of or hiding information is part of what carried the plot, and am wondering why something was revealed when it doesn't affect the book at all, even though I feel it totally should. I honestly wish this was a series or something so I could get more from the world.
I will try more by these authors in the future and will definitely spread recommendations for this book.
