Heartbreak Town

This book started out interestingly enough. But after that it just fizzled. I really wanted to like it. I wouldn't allow myself to give up. But when the bookmarker fell out of the book, it just wasn't worth trying to find my spot and I put the book away for good.

The author,Marsha Moyer was born and raised in Central Texas. We are very loyal, us Texans. And so I wanted so much to like this book. But I didn't. The main character is Lucy Farrell, a single mom with one son. She leaves her estranged husband in Nashville who follows the bottle more often than he follows his dream of making it big in the country music industy, and Lucy comes back to the small East Texas town she calls "home".

I LOVE stories about small town Texas. I am all about small cowtown Texas. But this story was just painful to read. Ash's character is boring despite Ms. Moyer's best attempts. Lucy just washes dishes, makes Margaritas and stares out the window all day while trying to figure out what to do. This goes on for several chapters until I'm just so bored, I want to drink Margaritas until I get drunk and forget that I ever wasted four months of my life trying to get through this book.

Oh the misery. Seriously. Pass this one up.
