recommends it for:
American girls who love chick-lit
There is an immediate problem with this book is obvious to the reader who isn't American: it has been written for American women and not for those who live in other parts of the world. Why is this obvious? Well, as the heroine of the book is an interior designer, many products (not just furnishing but food also) are mentioned (many US so it is difficult to picture what these are. But if you have a good imagination and can visualise what these may be, or substitute them for others well known to y...more

Mary Kay Andrews' books are so much fun! This one features a jilted bride who picks up the pieces in her small southern town with the help of her gay florist best friend and her father. To get over her loss, she accepts an impossible task--she must renovate and decorate a dilapidated southern plantation bought by the town's bra baron (you read that right) by Christmas so that he can woo and win over the woman of his dreams. She also must discover what happened to her mother who left the famil...more

I think I'm giving up on this. I am over half done, but I just cannot make myself care about the characters. There's too much interior design talk for me, and most of the time I don't even know what they are talking about. For someone into that, they'd probably really dig the book, but it's just not for me. I finally figured out I wasn't interested when I opted to balance my checkbook vs sit and read a chapter.

Some good humor here! The scene where the actual Hissy Fit is thrown starts the book off with an bang (really, I'm not kidding) - and this is a hissy fit for the ages. It's a Scarlett O'Hara style hissy fit with throwing things and breaking them and confronting the Miscreant with his transgressions right in front of a country club full of friends and family.
Once the Fit has been thrown this settled down to the aftermath of a spectacularly broken engagement and an improbable romance with a rich...more

Oh, man. I adored this book. The scene at the beginning of the book is laugh-out-loud funny and something most people can relate to. I devoured the book in about six-seven hours. Some parts I wasn't thrilled with, like the barely surviving town but a well-known interior design firm. Very unrealistic, but if you handwave those incidents, it's so much fun. Nice, light read.

Recommended by a fellow goodreader. This was cute. When bride to be/interior designer in small town Georgia found her groom getting it on with her maid of honor on the boardroom table at the country club during the rehearsal dinner, she threw the hissy fit of a century.

See my review for Savannah Blues. I can't remember which book had the bad beginning. I think it was this one. Anyway, I think there is some sex but the characters are fun and it is a quick read. Sorry, I listened to these books on CD and so I could easily fast forward over the crud. I don't know how easily that can be done if reading the actual book. . .

Cute quick read.... bride finds her husband and maid of honor doing the deed during her rehearsal dinner..she throws the hissiest of all hissy fits and moves on in her life. Knight in Shining Armor comes in the form of a bra factory owner..... good stories and quirky humor there too. I like her style of writing-I'll read more of her. nice beach/weekend read.

This was the first Mary Kay Andrews book I read but certainly not the last. I loved the Southern influence without seemingly being ridiculed. I found a copy in a second hand shop while my visiting niece, her hubby and family browsed. Got involved with the heroine right off and couldn't put it down. I found it to be a fun, light read.

When Keeley Murdock discovers her fiance "doing the deed" with her maid of honor at their rehearsal dinner, she throws a "hissy fit" and cancels the wedding which causes havoc in Madison, Georgia.
Wild and crazy incidents and characters. The small-town bra factory scenes will make you laugh out loud. Highly recommend.

This was my first Mary Kay Andrews book and I read it in 2 days. I had to find out immediately what else she had written and I loved those even more. I have also read another book that was written under her real name Kathy Hogan Trocheck and it was okay (I can't remember the title but I did finish it)

Anyone who loves southern novels
I love Mary Kay Andrews and how richly she can weave a story. The descriptions of the surroundings were fantastic and it makes me want to redecorate my house. I love the blending in of antiques and plantation houses that give you that southern feel. Great beach read!

Andrews is funny, but self-indulgent. Her plot is predictable and her characters fairly stock. This book could have been shortened by a third just by removing every other wisecrack--and it would have been a stronger read. But it was pleasant enough, I guess.

This book was a bit long and a bit bogged down with all of the interior design jargon. At times I was bored, but the overall story was engaging, and entertaining if nothing else. Wasn't my favorite book of all time, but I certainly didn't hate it either.

I've been enjoy this author's work for a while now under both her writing names - Mary Kay Andrews and Kathy Hogan Trocheck.
One valuable lesson I learned from this book is - Never accept a bottle of water from anyone if it's already been opened. ;)

More like 4.5 stars. A cute book that moved at a breathless pace. My only complaint is that the main character kept describing herself as "large breasted" and "slender." I would have liked her better if she'd been a little flawed. A small quibble!

Novel with SHOCKING conflict is irresistable. Hissy Fit proves it. However, the mystery about her mom is kinda turn off for me. I dunno... I just think the author just wanna thicken her novel with that lame and cliche conflict. But, that's me....

Wow. Did not enjoy this book. From the cliche characters to the predictable plotline to annoying attempted gay man venacular of "daaayaaamnnn!" this book just irritated me. However, I was trapped in enough by the story to read it to the end.
