Girls In Trucks - Review

So about two weeks ago (after my quick readings of the 50 Shades Trilogy and Bared to You) I picked up a book at the dollar tree. I had never purchased a book there before and to be honest wasn't expecting anything spectacular. The book I chose was by an author unknown to me by the name of Katie Crouch, a seemingly young author from South Carolina.

The book was back and forth for me. Interesting enough to read but for sure not a top novel, maybe that's why it was in the location of purchase, however you can also purchase it at B&N for like $11 or something. I enjoyed reading the real life situations that the author set forth of not only the main character but the supporting ones as well.

A girl grows up in a well to do social class in S.C.  and even attended a school for future debutantes. Her sister was gorgeous and of course perfect....or so it seemed. Her friends, while they all went to the same training school were varied in their life endeavors. The main character ends up with man after man throughout her life and never marries. She does fall in love in her early 20s but that ended when she couldn't live up to the perfect house wife standards. As the years passed she ends up pregnant by a lifelong friend when they finally decide after years to give it a shot. 

In the end she is a single mother, her father commits suicide due to health issues, her mom becomes a lesbian with a life long friend and main character begins seeing a guy from her childhood. So it's your typical woman goes through life without a husband, everyone worries, her friends go on to be successful, she gets knocked up and yet still no love commitment. 

Overall I would give the book a solid C. To me it seemed as if the writer was mixing real life experience and fantasy together which sort of caused a choppy flow of the book. Totally worth a $1though.
