I Still Miss My Man But My Aim Is Getting Better Pocket Book Series Sarah Shankman 9780671897505 Books

Sarah Shankman has a distinctive voice. I liked it. The book engaged me and I smiled or chuckled more than once. Okay truth here, I almost wet myself reading one bit. Now Patsy Cline, a talent the world lost too soon is key to some of this book and understanding the whole BFF. So maybe it would be for you but I'd read a little and give it a chance to pull you into one little devil of a read. Great for an entertaining read.

I Still Miss My Man But My Aim Is Getting Better Pocket Book Series Sarah Shankman 9780671897505 Books Reviews

Thank goodness I found this book on the distressed book table of my still existing local bookstore! The story is a country song in novel form. It probably would get a C at best in English Novel 101, but who cares. I needed two days with this story to cheer me up--one contrived twist leads to the next. Here I come to read more Sarah Shankman!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story-telling was snappy. The characters were sympathetic. I had a great time with this book, and hated to put it down!
If your life looks a little too real and stressful, escape into the humor and intrigue of a Sarah Shankman mystery. Her characters are charming, rude, hilarious, brilliant, ignorant -- the extremes of humanity. You'll get to see what your idiosyncracies look like -- magnified -- and thank the stars that there's someone more wretched or obtuse than you. Great entertainment. I also recommend "Let's Talk of Graves."
I bought this book on the strength of the title - and I still have to admit, it's a killer title. However, when I got to the point in the story where an angel was directing the plot, I almost put the book down and left it there. I should have. Shelby Kay is a terrific character. She doesn't need an angel to see her through the crises in her life. This is the first time I've read anything by Sarah Shankman and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. But Sarah, honey, remember what they taught you in English 101 about "deus ex machina"?????? There is no need to cheat the readers like this. Give us Shelby Kay without the insiped angel angle and we'll love you all the more.
When I say that Sarah Shankman has done a Carl Hiaasen in this book, I don't mean she's copied him in any way. She's an original. But she, like Mr H and almost no one else, understands that particularly curious form of logic, aspiration, and reality in which southerners live, a world view which northern and western folk think of as "insanity." Angels and devils figure prominently in what we call their mythos and they (southerners) call their lives. Strange forces abound. And get this clear -- this is not a case of Ms Shankman using these extra-normal events to drag one bit of plot or another in by its hiney -- my admiration is because she understands how these events figure into the lives of those wonderful people. And unlike Hiaasen's people, some of Ms Shankman's people are actually admirable, although venality certainly abounds. I have enjoyed all the previous Sam Adams books, but this one goes into a whole new level. I can tell from reviews (all positive) whether or not the writer has ever lived in the south and seen it from an outsider point of view. Those who haven't quibble about some things. Those who have lived there in that way read this book and laugh and say, "That's what I mean, that's what it was, that's what I was trying to put my finger on." Thank you, Ms Shankman. You're welcome to come to my house for dinner any time.
... as in the book is way too bad for me to be able to believe the publishers had nothing better to do, and that's too bad. Best title EVER, but book itself is terrible, unless you're REALLY into the supernatural, country & western (generally), and/or Patsy Cline (specifically). I usually have a fairly short memory span for titles/authors/content because I read A LOT, but I read this book many years ago and yet the brilliance of the title combined with such disparate content has stuck with me. For some reason, it popped into my head today while I was looking for something entirely different and was inspired(?) to write this review.

All that said, I actually finished reading it instead of throwing it across the room because it is somehow compelling in its awfullness (is that a word & is it spelled correctly?), like a traffic accident.
