Book Review: The Flood Girls

 
Title: The Flood Girls

Author: Richard Fifield

Stars: 3.5 out of 5

Review:

 I liked the premise of this book but was disappointed in the 
presentation. The basic story line was great and well  thought out and 
made for a good story. However, I also thought that some of the 
characters were just too much over the top and played on people's 
perceived expectations of the character's sexual 
orientation/experiences.
 
I gave this book 3.5 stars in the rating system.
 
I received this ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

 Thank you Frank for the Review!!

Synopsis: 

This snappy, sassy 
redemption story set in small-town Montana is “a wild and crazy debut 
novel by a talented young writer” (Jackie Collins), filled with an 
uproarious and unforgettable cast of characters you won’t want to leave 
behind.

Welcome to Quinn, Montana, population: 956. A town where 
nearly all of the volunteer firemen are named Jim, where The Dirty 
Shame—the only bar in town—refuses to serve mixed drinks (too much 
work), where the locals hate the newcomers (then again, they hate the 
locals, too), and where the town softball team has never even come close
 to having a winning season. Until now.

Rachel Flood has snuck 
back into town after leaving behind a trail of chaos nine years prior. 
She’s here to make amends, but nobody wants to hear it, especially her 
mother, Laverna. But with the help of a local boy named Jake and a 
little soul-searching, she just might make things right.

In the 
spirit of Empire Falls and A League of Their Own, with the caustic wit 
of Where’d You Go, Bernadette thrown in for good measure, Richard 
Fifield’s hilarious and heartwarming debut will have you laughing 
through tears.
