As always, Ms. Scott's humor shines through in A Fine How-De-Do. In addition to the humor, the heroine in this story is believable and relatable (well, except for the inheritance part - I can't relate to that, lol).Without retelling the story, here's what worked for me: the humor woven throughout the story, Tonya's character (her strength and perseverance, especially), the townspeople and their crazy hair, and the ending. Oh, and there's no explicit sex in this read, which is always a plus.What I had a little trouble with: Tommy is a little weak as a hero. The chief of police is a screw-up? Yikes. It's almost like he has a split personality. On the one hand, he IS this big, strong LEO, a by-the-book kind of guy. On the other hand, he seems a little, um, slutty, for lack of a better word. He's apparently been with every single girl in town. One of those single girls even tells Tonya she was engaged to him when he found out another ex was pregnant (or something along that line, it was a little confusing). Furthermore, she tells Tonya that Tommy, now divorced from the baby mama, occasionally gets drunk and tries to patch things up with HER! So the guy seems a little shallow for Tonya, who's stepping out on her own two feet, determined and strong.Overall, a fun little read, and I hope Tonya straightens out more than Tommy's bad haircut.
