In Louisiana in 1956, Sissy LeBlanc is waiting for adventure to come her way. Married at 17 and the mother of 3, Sissy lives by the "Southern Belle's Handbook", a series of rules made up in her head to help her get through. But when her high school sweetheart, Parker Davidson, comes back to town, he brings the adventure she's been missing. And there's nothing in the handbook that tells her what to do when Parker leans in for a kiss in her kitchen.
Starting off seemingly light-hearted and easy-going, this book snuck up on me by becoming more serious and dark late in the story. Sissy LeBlanc is the kind of woman you'd like to sit on the porch with, having a drink and talking trash about the people walking by. She's found herself in a life and she's not sure how she got there. But you find out that there's more to Sissy than anyone suspects.
I was surprised by the last third of this book. I honestly did not see any of it coming. Check it out. I think you'll be surprised too.
