Learning to Speak Southern by Lindsey Rogers Cook
4.0
This was a really good, heartfelt novel. It really reminds us that we really don’t know what people are going through or may have in the past and to not be so judgmental, as things often are not as they may be appearing. Lex is heading back to the US after having been on an “adventure” for the last few years, and she is heading back to the last place she said she’d return to.
Cami meets Lex with open arms, and knew she’d be back – it was just a matter of time before something brought her back, and Cami is more than happy to open her home up to her once again. Cami was a good friend to Lex’s mother, and was a second mother to Lex growing up, and often was the word of reason when her and her mother got in their weekly spats. Lex never quite understood her mothers anger towards her and has always struggled with her childhood, and never feeling like she was good enough.
Lex may not be so different from her mother after all, and Cami possibly has the answers she’s always wanted answered but in order to get these- she must complete tasks that Cami gives her each day. Keeping Lex busy, and her mind off of taking off again and her last task might just be the hardest thing she does- as she’s always owed that person an explanation.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark for the free book. I look forward to picking up her other novel and will be reading any others she publishes in the future. I really liked how she brought it all together and had a lesson in it all.
