About this listen

Looking in your teenage daughter's purse is never a good idea.

After all, it ended up with Carolina Jessup opening a bed & breakfast for railroad fanatics in a tiny Georgia mountain town. Carolina knows all about, and hates, small towns. How did she end up leaving her wonderful Atlanta suburbs behind while making her husband's dreams come true?

The town bully (who wears a lavender skirt and white gloves), an endless parade of teenagers through her house, and everybody's talk about a ghost have Carolina looking for an escape, or at least a way to move back home. Instead, she's front and center for all of Chancey's small town gossip.

Unlike back home in the suburbs with privacy fences and automatic garage doors, everybody in Chancey thinks your business is their business and they all love the newest Chancey business. The B&B hosts a Senate candidate, a tea for the county fair beauty contestants, and railroad nuts who sit out by the tracks and record the sound of a train going by. Yet, nobody believes Carolina prefers the 'burbs.

Oh, yeah, and if you just ignore a ghost, will it go away?

I enjoyed listening to Suzanne Barbettta, she a joy to listen to. This book is full of small town ways. We have a woman going through a mid life crisis, a ghost and humour. You can feel as if you are living in a small town and dealing with the relationships that play out.

Carolina Jessup and her family or new to Chancey. She never wanted to live in a small town, but finding condoms in your teenage daughters purse call for drastic measures and in this case it was to give it to her husband and moved to Chancey right under the train bridge. He loves trains , she doesn’t and that is just the first thing she wouldn’t normally do she starts hanging around two sisters who are always in the know and when she casually mentioned a bed-and-breakfast they take charge and before she knows it she’s running the train stop bed-and-breakfast. I know this seems like a simple summary, but trust me when I say there is so much more to love about this book. They are mini sub plots and things you just don’t see coming in even the things you do see coming or still hilarious. I love this book and can’t wait to read the next one. The narrator was freaking awesome I love her so much!

I am so glad I found the Chancey series!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I enjoyed this book. It read like a warm Southern American fiction story and it was really nice. The characters were well written and they felt real and it was a nice plot.

I dont know how to describe this not one genre or another, it is just so delightful. The narration was brilliant and you could just revel in it, so well suited.

The story was just so much fun - so weird but lovely. It was just like a wonderful bowl of chicken noodle soup if you are not feeling well, so comforting.

How have I not found this before - brilliant
