If you like over the top tall tales then this is the book for you! Bobbie Faye is (apparently) known throughout Louisiana for causing disastrous mayhem wherever she goes. So a day where she wakes up to six inches of standing water in her trailer seems just about normal to her--until she discovers that her brother has been kidnapped by thugs. Suddenly Bobbie Faye is in a desperate race to save her brother, helped by a mysterious (and sexy) stranger who may or may not be in cahoots wtih the bad guys. On her tail is the local sherriff, who happens to be her ex-boyfriend, and helping her in the background are a colorful assortment of friends. I particularly liked the whip toting Nina. This book was a hoot to read, it's like a modern day tall tale where you can't believe the ridiculous situations the author comes up with, one right after the other. So for a great pick me up when your having a bad day (or even when you're not) read Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day by Toni McGee Causey.
