Very cute, heartwarming story about a teenage girls whose privileged life is turned upside down when her dad loses his job in the recession. Corrinne and her little brother are forced to move to Texan to live with the country grandparents she's never met. She is miserable, and mortified, by the unsettling change of lifestyle, and has a hard time swapping her Jimmy Choos for cowboy boots. But in the end, of course, the kind and generous people of Broken Spoke win her over. When Corrinne is faced with a surprising decision at the end of her first semester in Texas, she finds it's tougher to make than she imagined. Fun, light, and very sweet. (

I wasn’t sure that I would ever actually finish this book. I started it almost a year ago, and just couldn’t really get into it at the time. I’m not sure what changed, or if I am just in a different place to immerse myself in the story; but since I took it off the shelf I couldn’t put it down. I loved all of the characters, even Waverly, though she did irk my nerves a bit more than usual! I am really a sucker for City Girl meets small town life and really grows accustomed to it. The ending wasn’t what I was expecting, though I can see why the author took that route. I just wish that the story had gone on a little more and I could know if promises made were actually kept. (

Corrinne is spoilt. You can tell from the first chapter that she has a very shallow personality, so much so that I didn’t enjoy reading her narration. I think this is what Gwendolyn Heasley was going for - especially based on the prologue - and she achieved it brilliantly.

While in Texas Corrine gradually starts to change, she is influences by the people around her and she slowly becomes a different person for the experience. Of course, there are a few anecdotes along the way.

This was a quick read and a feel good book. I wished we had a bit more time for character interaction towards the end, however, things wrapped up neatly with a little bit left for the imagination. I’d suggest this book on a rainy day. (
