Confederates Don't Wear Couture by Stephanie Kate Strohm
4.0
An enjoyable and pretty funny sequel!
This was obviously fluff and full of miscommunication, but I liked it a lot. The only thing was, there was always an uncomfortable tugging feeling somewhere inside at the occasional glorification of the TOTALLY wrong side of the Civil War. How can I feel for anyone pretending to be a Confederate when they were supporters of something despicable?
But the author did mention that issue a few times, which I appreciated.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the historical aspect of this book. I love history, especially American, so it's cool reading about a main character who shares that love and spews fun facts. I ought to have been studying for a big history exam while I was reading this, but my excuse was that this kind of WAS studying.
Dev was ridiculous, but I liked him. I also liked Garrett and Beau.
Consider my childhood mind blown at the fact that The Dukes of Hazzard (which I know is surrounded my lots of controversy, but back in the day I used to watch it every day with my dad, so there are some fond memories attached) characters are Beau and Luke Duke, as opposed to Bo, Beau being short for Beauregard. This was an epiphany, I must say.
