Magnolia

This is a cute southern love story with a twist on the Romeo Juliet story. I really liked the characters of Ryder and Jemma who are both strong, decisive and have a clear picture of what they want to do with their lives. The backdrop of the hurricane season which transforms their hate to love relationship is very well written. I am very unfamiliar with the southern small town culture, so this book was a nice experience but I obviously can't speak for its authenticity. On the whole, this was a light breezy cute read that I was able to finish in a single sitting and thoroughly enjoyed.
