"Annajane Hudgens truly believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason Bayless. They've been divorced for four years, she's engaged to a new, terrific guy, and she's ready to leave the small town where she and Mason had so much history. She is so over Mason that she has absolutely no problem attending his wedding to the beautiful, intelligent, delightful Celia. But when fate intervenes and the wedding is called to a halt as the bride is literally walking down the aisle, Annajane begins to realize that maybe she's been given a second chance. Maybe everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, she wants Mason back. But there are secrets afoot in this small southern town. On the peaceful surface of Hideaway Lake, Annajane discovers that the past is never really gone. Even if there are people determined to keep Annajane from getting what she wants, happiness might be hers for the taking, and the life she once had with Mason in this sleepy lake town might be in her future"--

Cute, sugary. A paper and ink version of cherry flavored red pop (aka Quixie).
I've read other books by Mary Kay Andrews so I kinda knew what I'd find inside. Most of the characters were well rounded and the children were tolerable (unlike the kids in some other chick lit). The 2 exceptions were the villains of the story - Celia and Sally. Both were over the top and rather transparent. Couldn't figure out how everyone but Pokey didn't see through their thinly veiled actions to their true motivations.
Even with that little problem, it was an enjoyable beach read type book.
Mary Kay really is the queen of the good summer read whether you read her books in July or January. Her sweet Southern vibe and small-town worlds are a great escapist world.
This story focused on a divorced couple who run a small soda company, like Cheerwine, and that is enough to make it wildly appealing for me. Go, small-batch soda! Oh, and love stories.
