Spring Fever

I've read and/or listened to all of the Mary Kay Andrews books. After reading a couple of other reviews for this book, I was hesitant to buy. My sister convinced me after she got the hardback. Yes, I did stay up way too late two nights in a row wanting to hear what happened next. Pokey was my favorite character because she didn't give a rip about what anyone said.

As usual with Mary Kay's books, I laughed out loud at many parts because the dialog between her characters is strong. Maybe it is because I have lived in the south all my life that many of the references resonated with me. I enjoyed this entertaining little respite from reality. Think I will go have myself a cherry soda.

Everything it was slightly unbelievable with the ex wife being in the situation she was in but I loved the book.

When Mason wakes up to Celia

Annajane she was just very likeable

LOVE Mary Kay Andrews! But she is a SOUTHERN author, the narration was NOT and when she tried to be it was terrible. Mary Kay should know better than to have someone read her southern novels with such a terrible accent. Took away from the story.

Liked the supporting cast of characters.

She was so wrong for this book!

It was just "ok"

please Mary Kay, have a real southerner read your books. (or a better actress). All your other books have been so much fun!!

This was fun listening, but the story was not without problems. There were bits that should have been edited out, because they went nowhere in the end. But overall, I enjoyed it very much. The characters were believable, as was the plot. It made me want to cry, did make me laugh, and I sympathised with the people who came to life. The setting was part of the story, so it was enjoyable as well.
I enjoyed the narration. Many books set in the South are read in a 100% Southern accent, so when a character isn't from there, it is jarring to hear that accent. Kathleen McInerney reserved the Southern accent for the characters' dialog, and eschewed it for the descriptions, so when the character with the mid-western accent was speaking, it didn't disturb. The characters are also given distinct voices, so it's relatively easy to know who is speaking.
As well as all that, there is a bonus interview with Mary Kay Andrews at the end that was informative. Sometimes it's nice to get those questions of "how do you start a story" and "how do you invent your characters" answered. Her answers are interesting and surprising in some ways.

This was a cute story set in small town North Carolina. I really enjoyed the way Andrews brought the characters to life. I didn't want to put the book down.

loved it. i'm ready for the next one. i thought that summer rental was great but spring fever showed it up. easy relaxed several times did not want to leave the car. it's to me a must listen. will keep on the will listen to again list.

I would!! It was a little cheesy, but I kept wanting to find out more and more. Wish they would make this book into a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. :)

Yes, Mary Kay Andrews does a good job writing light hearted rom com novels based in the south.

The mystery aspect was good. The relationship aspect to this book was weaker than Mary Kay's others.

No. Her male southern accents are so bad it made it hard for me to listen with out rolling my eyes and wishing I could fast forward.

Not sure.

Mary Kay Andrews knows how to write the perfect beach read. And this one, narrated by Kathleen McInerney, is a fantastic beach listen. I didn't want it to end.

Nice book, it had me laughing at loud

It will make you forget about your days events, it made me laugh
