My friend and I read it at the same time. She had just finished 'Where the Heart Is' and we watched the move together. I had already seen the movie and told her it was great but I had never read the book. Seems many more negative things happen in the book. Anywho - so since I loved the movie so much and I knew my firend had loved the book, I thought 'Honk and Holler' sounded great so I gave it a try. And, like I said, I really liked it. Something about the way she writes, sticks with me. I just am not sure I can really explain it.

I really want to read 'Shoot the Moon' too :)
