Folk Around and Find Out

Good Folk: Modern Folktales, Book 2

By: Penny Reid

Narrated by: Joy Nash, Chris Brinkley

He needs to get her out of his system. Just once....

Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He’s always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte’s messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.

Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heck of a lot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist”, which were polite Southern alternatives to “filthy rich” and “self-centered douchebag”. Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven’t so much as acknowledged each other in more than a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.

But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.

Spoiler alert...he likes it.

Hank ❤️

Absolutely loved this one! Waited for the audio since I knew Joy Nash and Chris Brinkley would take an already wonderful story to the next level. I was not disappointed 🥳

Another Winner from Green Valley!

Folk Around and Find Out is another great addition to the Green Valley Universe! I’ve loved everything from Penny Reid, and this was no exception. Hank and Charlotte’s journey is such a fun ride…the chemistry is off the charts! As always, Chris Brinkley and Joy Nash bring the very best “southern” to their narration of Reid’s books.

can't wait to read the next one

I loved every minute of this story.. why did he not take her to the prom ? I feel I may have missed that. love the small town love how the Winston Brothers are still around and involved

doing the math

I generally re-read 75% of Penny's books. However this is only the 2nd penny book I have re read right after I finished it. Hank and Charlotte are unicorns, but that day....that glorious day of costume corn, stir fry and fractions does me in.....AND pizza and tommy. Everyone should read this book because it's a lesson for communities, self empowerment, tolerance and the value of real communication. Thank you penny for this book. I am eternally grateful.

Incredible performance

I always love an entry into Penny Reid’s Green Valley, and this book was no exception, with reformed bad boy Hank, owner of the Pink Pony. Hank and Hannah’s story was great, a sort of long term crush trope. But the narration really stood out. Joy Nash’s voice for Hannah’s mom was so good I had to listen twice in one spot just to hear it again. And Chris Brinkley was amazing as usual, he does such a great job with accents and voices. It was fun to hear Cletus as a side character again.
