Loved the summery

Hey this is Jeff. Im not usually into romance novels, but I like to snowboard and have sex so this made sense. I loved what I read from the summary i'm totally pumped to read the real thing. Take care

margos review

I really enjoyed Mountain Betty, the character was not sure of her direction in life and an act of kindness that came naturally gave her hope for a better life. I love McCouchs writting style she is honest and very bright.

Witty, wry and insightful- the best of chick lit

Like in her first novel, Girl Cook, McCouch invites us to take a funny and honest peek into the interior world of a young woman making her way in a male-dominated sub-culture: this time the ski slopes of Jackson, WY. McCouch's writing is smart and funny, and had me howling at her narrator's sense of displacement and her own brutal honesty with herself. Betty is a modern heroine, endearing like a good friend is endearing: human and fallible but ultimately strong and triumphant. I loved it, wolfed it down in one sitting, and will never look at ski instructors in quite the same way again!

Mountain Betty

I loved this book! McCouch writes an honest portrayal of life post-college and keeps us energized with the non-stop adventure. She handles the delicate topics of infedelity and drug use with true insight, and offers a powerful message of "girl power" in a ski resort where the testosterone is flowing.

A gem!

I LOVED this book! McCouch's characters are vivid and funny and the plot is addictive; I literally couldn't put it down. A pure pleasure to read, even better than Girl Cook.
