Sweet Love Story submitted by monkk on June 28, 2011, 3:52pm The best thing about this adorable love story (that has it's ups and downs) is that it's true!
Cute submitted by Chris82 on July 30, 2011, 10:45pm This book was a cute story but when I got it I thought it was another cookbook so was a bit disappointed.
Maybe a Little too Cute and Sweet

I'll just say right up front that I have mixed emotions when it comes to this book. It was a quick read and definitely had some very entertaining moments. I think my difficulty relating to the book stems from the fact that I am the complete opposite of Ree. I am not a girly girl. I don't wear much makeup and I often dress for comfort and not for looks, so most of her endeavors to be perfectly made up were lost on me (and most of the time they seemed to be lost on her husband too). Her redemption was her hindsight, when she communicates to the reader how ridiculous some of her choices at the time seem to her now I find her very endearing.
The romance between her and Marlboro Man (her nickname for her husband) seems pretty incredible. Ree was all of 2 weeks out of a long term relationship when she met the man of her dreams and things seemed to just fall into place. Now I am not saying this can’t happen, or what they have isn't a lasting and deep love for one another. Their story just lacked the realistic struggles that I would imagine they faced during their first year or two together and she mentions that they talk, but never really says what they talk about. She does however go into detailed descriptions of their make outs. It just seemed shallow.
All of this being said, many people have fallen in love with this city girl turned rancher's wife and there is a good reason for that. Despite me thinking that Ree and I might not get along so well if we were to meet in person, I like her. Despite getting annoyed at the frequency of her descriptions of make out sessions, I kept reading because I wanted to hear more of her story. So if you are looking at this book and wondering if it is worthwhile, go ahead and check it out. It might not have been my favorite book, but I don't regret reading it.
