Laura's 100 Books in 2012 - #12



Georgia Bottoms by Mark Childress




I've let it be known that I like Southern Lit (I mentioned it in my last review, in fact). I guess I failed to specify that it should also be good.

Georgia Bottoms has a secret that has somehow not gotten around her small, Alabama town- she's dating six men all at the same time (the sheriff, a preacher, and the bank president among them).

I loved the book Crazy in Alabama by Childress, but unfortunately this one wasn't that great. Georgia isn't a character that I would ever like and the southern stereotypes are rampant throughout the book. It's sad, because Childress is from Alabama and should know better. Read Crazy in Alabama and skip this one.
