High Cotton
by Debby Mayne
About:
Some families are filled with so much love they can’t help but drive each other crazy
Shay Henke has mixed feelings about going to her family’s next reunion. On the one hand, she’ll get to see everyone in her mama's family—folks she loves unconditionally. On the other hand, she knows there’ll be more drama than you can shake a stick at.
The days leading up to the event bring one surprise after another. First Shay must deal with her sister-in-law’s deep, dark secret. Then she has to contend with the childish ways of her business-mogul twin cousins. And when her high school crush wants to be her date to the reunion . . . well, it may have been a dream come true for Shay’s teen self, but the woman she’s become doesn’t know what to make of this.
Shay’s contentment is challenged, and she’s determined to shake things up a bit. But will she find the excitement she’s looking for, or will Shay realize she prefers her quiet and predictable life? One thing is certain: Life in the Bucklin family is never boring.

My Thoughts:
Anything southern, and I am a sucker for a glass of ice tea, a book filled with southern charm and families relationship that are deeper than roots from a tree. This is one of those books that will have you laughing, and the family drama will keep you entertained, all while your heart is slowly falling in love with people.
High Cotton is a book that I was unable to put down. It's a light, and super quick read. This book does not disappoint for those who love southern women's fiction, especially small town stories. If you are looking for a great story, some characters that make you want to shake them from time to time and even some laugh out loud moments, this is a great book!
Open the pages and you'll be amazed to find that your family is similar to the Bucklin family. I give this book 4.5/5 stars. A favorable review was not required and all opinions expressed here are my own. A complimentary copy was provided.
