The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story by Ree Drummond

4.0

More like 3.5 stars. This is basically a giant ball of fluff from start to finish. It's an enjoyable ball of fluff, as one would expect from one of the most successful bloggers around, and I finished it in a couple of hours. It's essentially a bunch of blog posts shoved together with the bonus "what happened in our first year of marriage" shoved on the end. The bonus section remains a let down for me - it can basically be summed up as "got pregnant and my parents split up" but instead we get a millionty pages about her gestating body and the tiny life growing inside her womb (side note: I really hate the word "womb". It skeeves me out. This was no exception).

So yeah. It's basically 341 pages of brainless fluff, which was precisely what I needed yesterday. Perhaps if I'd read it in a more cynical headspace, this review would be a totally different story...
