Though this book was wonderful, and I’ll get into the specifics of that in a bit, I do have to say it wasn’t quite as good as One of Us Is Lying. Which would admittedly be pretty hard to top, mere words can’t describe my love for that book. Teaming up with Malcolm, the brother of the local girl’s boyfriend, Ellery attempts to figure out who is behind all the mysteries in Echo Ridge. And once Ellery arrives, yet another girl goes missing. And back when Ellery’s mother still lived there, her twin sister went missing. Five years prior to Ellery’s arrival, a local girl was murdered, with the prime suspect being her boyfriend. This follows a girl named Ellery, who is forced to move to small-town Echo Ridge to live with her grandmother.

Not only did it make the prologue highly efficient and justified, it also completely changed what I thought this book was going to be. Did I suspect we would get a five-year time jump? No, no I did not. Initially, I thought it a bit strange until it’s revealed why. The book starts off with a very long prologue where we kind of check in with our trio to see where they are right after the end of the first book. My main thought: uwgbkjfngiuejngoiejbahdngojhnkdmgnenjdboajdnkbk If you want to know my thoughts on the first book, check out my review. This review is all spoiler-filled because it’s the second book in a trilogy. Our famous hospitality isn’t martyrdom it’s modeling. “Dorthea always said that it was a combination of beauty and strength that made southern women ‘ whiskey in a teacup.’ We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside…but inside we’re strong and fiery. The book is also a tender tribute to her grandmother, Dorthea–an ambitious, poised, educated southern woman–as impeccably mannered as she was tough. It is explores the influences in her life as a girl growing up in the South–food, entertaining, style, family, relationships, and what she calls “do-gooding” (giving back to the community). The book is more than a memoir or a treatise on Reese’s favorite things. I have two daughters and I hope I taught them most of what is within these pages. But it might help you better understand her love of sweet tea, big hair, and monograms. You don’t have to be a southerner to appreciate Reese Witherspoon’s new book, Whiskey in a Teacup. |
