Review: Interesting characters, needs editing (might contain small spoilers)

There's a lot of editing that needs to be done in this book. Honestly, that's what took it from a 4 star read to 3 for me. The needed proofing drove me nuts the entire time I was reading it, and really took away from the story. But if bad grammar/poor spelling/left in editing notes don't bother you, then I recommend this one!The characters are a hoot. Actually, one of them, Normal, tends to "hoot" a lot. I didn't like her at first. I couldn't figure out why she was sticking around Troublesome Creek. But the kindness that Daff shows her is something that she hasn't had in her life in a long time. So, duh, that's why she's there.The similarity to Fried Green Tomatoes is small. They both have misfit/outcast female characters that everyone figures are lesbians. They are both in the south....Yeah, that's about it.This is not the best Janice Daugharty that I have read. Not even close. If you want an amazing book by Daugharty tryHeir To The Everlasting. That was a fantastic book. Blows this one out of the water. But for a quick, entertaining read, this one is pretty good.
