High Cotton Book Review

I thought this sounded like an interesting book even though I haven't heard of the author or the series before.  I decided that it would be fun to try this new book and check out an author that I haven't read before.  High Cotton (Bucklin Family Reunion) by Debby Mayne is the first book in this new series so it was a great place to start.  Who wouldn't want to read something with ice tea on the cover?! 

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 reunions . . . 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 predictable life? One thing is certain: Life in the Bucklin family is never boring.

This book followed a few different family members including Shay, Puddin', and the Twins.  They were all trying to figure out what they were going to do to make their best life.  Shay was in a job that she was good at but didn't love.  Puddin' was working but keeping it a secret from her husband.  Shay finds out about the secret and is in the middle of the lie with Puddin' and her brother, Digger.  It is a small town where it is hard to keep a secret but Puddin' still isn't ready to spill the beans.  There are a lot of things going on in this story so make sure you pick up the book and find out some of the other secrets going on in this small town and big family.  I hope that you check out this book for yourself and enjoy it as much as I did.  It was a great southern story about a big family that is super judgmental and loving.  It was funny and heartwarming which made it a great story.

**I received a copy of this book for my review but all opinions here are honest and my own.
