Historia
Twenty years after ruling the halls of her suburban Chicago high school, Lissy Ryder doesn't understand why her glory days ended. Back then, she was worshipped...beloved...feared. Present day, not so much. She's been pink-slipped from her high-paying job, dumped by her husband and kicked out of her condo. Now, at 37, she's struggling to start a business out of her parents' garage and sleeping under the hair-band posters in her old bedroom. Lissy finally realizes karma is the only bitch bigger than she was.

Great story line, very different

loved the story line, loved Jen's (author) dialog. Not crazy about her reading it. I like when she reads her own stuff but not so great for a novel

Historia
A satisfying tale of honor, chance, and star-crossed love infused with Southern wit, grace, and charm - the story of two old Southern families. The Langleys have more money than the Morgan Stanley Bank. And they think they have more class. The Barrett family made their 19th-century fortune in a less distinguished manner: corner grocery stores and liquor stores.

One of Dorsey's BEST!!
Revisado: 03-11-13

There is no comparision! Fun, Funny, Strange, Horrific, all at the same time.
What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?
Excellent, He IS Serge and Coleman!!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book moved you to laugh and to be sick all at the same time.
Any additional comments?

Historia
The rich atmosphere of South Carolina, both Hilton Head and Charleston, is brought vividly to life by Dorothea Benton Frank, a South Carolina native who, with her exquisitely evocative prose, makes you smell the sea air, see the palmettos, and savor the sweet tea, but this time it comes with a side of antipasti.

Historia
The Sweet Potato Queens are back and bawdier than ever in Southern belle extraordinaire Jill Conner Browne’s ninth edition of the hysterical series. Having experienced pretty much ALL of the crappy parts of life, Browne feels it is her duty to render whatever assistance she can to her fellow sufferers - and she does so in her own inimitable fashion.
Her father taught her there are very few situations in life that we really and truly cannot change, and it is up to us to figure out how to either make fun OUT of them - or make fun OF them.

Historia
The 50 contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. What’s a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?

Historia
From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality-TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children—and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television.

Story Fun, Narration Disappointing.
Revisado: 07-11-12
Would you try another book from Mary Kay Andrews and/or Kathleen McInerney?
LOVE Mary Kay Andrews! But she is a SOUTHERN author, the narration was NOT and when she tried to be it was terrible. Mary Kay should know better than to have someone read her southern novels with such a terrible accent. Took away from the story.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Liked the supporting cast of characters.
What didn’t you like about Kathleen McInerney’s performance?
She was so wrong for this book!
Was Spring Fever worth the listening time?
It was just "ok"
Any additional comments?
please Mary Kay, have a real southerner read your books. (or a better actress). All your other books have been so much fun!!

Narrator is really BAD!
Revisado: 12-27-11
Would you try another book from Cathy Holton and/or Linda Stephens?
The story was good, I liked the characters but the narration was so bad it took away from the book.
Narrator was horrible. She sounded like she was 100 years old and might not make it to the end of the book. As a southern girl myself, no one here in the south sounds like this....even if they were 100 years old.
Would you recommend Beach Trip to your friends? Why or why not?
NOT in this format, i am sure the book was a fine read.
How could the performance have been better?
It was beyond repair. I have not listen to this narrator before so I am not sure if she was trying to fake a southern accent or her voice was just that
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment
