Dairy Queen (Dairy Queen, #1)

I can't believe how I seriously just loved this book!!!
Dairy Queen is one of those books that you wouldn't think twice about just looking at the cover or even reading the summary, well to me anyways. But as soon as you read the first few pages you will find your self captivated in D.J's story!
Farming and Football? That has to be the two most unlikely topics I'd be interested in, I mean, yeah sure, I like watching football movies but don't know much about the game itself, same with farming, been on a farm before, but never thought much about it after I left. Dairy Queen takes these two concepts and makes one brilliant story.
This was a real treat learning about something so intriguing!
But this is more about football and farming. This story is about D.J, who believes she's a cow. Well, not an actual cow, but who lives a cows life. Someone who does what she's told and never complains know matter how much she wants to have her own life, her own decisions.
And Brian Nelson, is the one who got her thinking that she was a cow in the first place, but D.J finally found something that she wants more then anything.
So maybe she doesn't have to be a cow after all...
I don't think I'll ever tire of books surprising me the way this book did. It's such a wonderful coming of age book that was funny and heartwarming and smart! The writing, plot and it's characters were amazing and I can't wait to to read book two and three!
I simply adored this book!!
A Must Read!!

I loved this book. I'm bummed I have to wait for the second one to come into the library. It's due back on the 15th. Hopefully I'll get it soon. :)
This sounds really good. :D You, Arlene, Olivia, and Teccc all liked it. If I didn't already have other books to read, I would totally check this one out right now.
I liked the story for this one. Just not the writing. Soooo many run-ons. The grammar nazi in me cracked.
I have added this to my TBR list. It sounds really different from what I normally read but im gonna give it a go! :)
I hope Mrs. Murdock will create a similarly interesting heroine soon. Sadly Princess Ben was not remotely as special as DJ.
