The Bluebonnet Battle (by Carolyn Brown)

I have typically enjoyed reading stories by Carolyn Brown. Sometimes they’re a little too romance-y for my taste, but there is usually well character development and a good story line that makes up for that syrupy sweetness. However, this book did not click at all with me. The characters were shallow, the family “feud” was ridiculous and over the top, the meanness was just ugly. I was so over all the “drama” that it took all I had to continue reading to the end. I was so disappointed.
