Talk of the Town by Lisa Wingate

5.0

Lisa Wingate has written a beautiful and deeply moving story of small town love and charm.

"I'll just be stupid little Amber Anderson again."

Amber Anderson's fears mirrors Mandalay "Amanda-Lee" Florentino's own as she sets into motion the best home reunion of reality TV and takes on the town of Daily, Texas.

Throw into the pot a bumbling deputy, a mysterious and charming cowboy-neighbor, and two eccentric but loving old ladies, and you have a bubbling mixture of laughs, tears, and hope.

Soon between late night breaking-and-entering to paparazzi scattered about, Mandalay and Imagene have to face their fears and venture into new horizons.

Written from first person perspective of Mandalay and Imagene,you become engrossed in their lives, crying and giggling, hoping and wishing.

Lisa Wingate's style leaves you wanting to read more. The details of the surroundings have you fully immersed in Texan countryside.

You root for the beautiful Amber, hope for happy endings for Mandalay, and encourage adventure for Imagene.

A wonderful story...one to be read time and time again.
