Historical Fiction

This is a historical fiction. This is an update on the characters from the Fried Green Tomatoes book. This is a slow moving book with short chapters. The first part I found a little boring, but the ending was very good. I enjoyed the characters. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Read in one sitting

It was nice to have all the fill-ins from the original book of Fried Green Tomatoes. There was a rollercoaster of emotions as you watch the storyline unfold.

Visiting old friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was as caught up with this sequel as I was the original. Sucked in immediately!!! It did my heart good to catch up with old friends and find out a few more details. The book stands on it's own perfectly , but If you are a Tomato Head like me, hearing Buddy's story just brought some closure that I always wondered about!! Read this.........................

So mad

I didn't buy large print, but I received it . Now I have to reorder half of my order plus I lost my free book!

If you liked Fried Green Tomatoes ....

Read this book in 2 days.. only took that long because I had to put it down and go to work one day! It is a wonderful follow up to Fried Green Tomatoes and at times a look into the past and a brief return to that time.. Easy read, fun characters and peeks at some old friends..
