I really enjoyed reading this entertaining book. It was funny, actually, laugh out loud funny. I take my current book to read everywhere I go and while reading this book in various restaurants I frequent, loud laughter escapes my mouth to the chagrin of customers trying to enjoy their lunch; but much to my surprise, no negative feedback from the restaurant staff, so I'll continue bringing my books along.
This story is about backyard gardens in the little suburb of Livia, in the upper Midwest, and a contest for the best garden of Livia, held by the local garden shop. The reader finds out about the unusual cast of characters that enter this contest with the winner taking in $5,000.
Without any spoilers, I will say the book has a feel-good quality to it, especially the ending when the winner was announced.
My recommendation to you is read this book when it gets published in December 2014. You will be glad you did.
