Mary Kay Andrews Shares the Tasty Quixie Soda and So Much More!



I attended Mary Kay Andrew’s Launch party for Spring Fever.  I very much looked forward to sharing this book with everyone.
Product Details 
Synopsis:

Annajane has been divorced from Mason Bayless for five years.  She is engaged but she finds herself at his wedding.     Mason is engaged to Celia Wakefield a consultant hired to consult at Quixie.  The church is packed for their wedding with all the Baylesses in attendance including Sally, Pokey (Annajane’s best friend), Davis, and Mason’s daughter Sophie.   The wedding is halted by a sudden emergency.  Annajane sees her opportunity to possibly win Mason back.  Will Mason wise up to Celia’s way?  Will the family business continue?

My Thoughts:

I very much liked Mary Kay Andrews’s newest book Spring Fever.  This story is different than Summer Rental with a slightly different focus.   Mary Kay takes us on a journey into the soft drink company Quixie.   One aspect of MKA’s writing is how thorough she is with the setting which is Pascoe North Carolina. 

  I did like the book but it is not a favorite.  I very much enjoyed the character of Sophie.   The best part of this book is the love triangle plot between Celia, Annajane, and Mason.  Many times in stories the man in this position is often portrayed as a total moron, but that does not describe Mason.  The book is enjoyable and will make you laugh.

Rating:

4/5

Mary Kay Andrews would love for you to drop by on her Facebook,  and website.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Image
Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
