This was not the worst book I've read by a blogger. Honestly reading this with the thought that these were originally written as blog entries is a good thing to remember. This book was actually pretty funny, young Ree is a disaster, and this doesn't have anything to do with the fact she's a city girl who ends up living on a ranch. If something can happen to her it will happen.
I've seen a lot of reviews that I think are more about the reader disliking her as a person. And honestly yes, she is a privileged, very immature 27 year old who does not have her priorities straight and is so self centered at times you would think she was an only child. But I have to commend Ree Drummond, who I assume was much more mature when writing this, for being so honest about herself. She could have easily made herself look better and left some parts out that were frankly extremely embarrassing. But instead she portrayed herself in an honest way, which wasn't always flattering.
Anyway, if you want a serious romance this is not it. It is fluffy, extremely fluffy and silly and really all in good fun. Is it "The best romance since Gone with the Wind" as a blurb on the back claims? Absolutely not. Did it make make "believe in love again"? Not really but nice try.
