Review
I'm a huge country music fan so how could I pass up the opportunity to read a book entitled Made in Nashville? Plus the fact that I follow Mandy online and she's such a fun gal herself! This novel wasn't quite what I was expecting though. I thought there would be a slight humorous slant to it but instead I got intense drama with a beautiful love story between two deeply hurting characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a few twists and turns that I wasn't expecting and the ending almost had me in tears it was so moving.
I'd also like to add that I love the fact that Mandy included mentions of the British country music band, Raintown, of which I am a big fan myself. They deserve huge success, just as Mandy does!
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read - I totally fell in love with all the characters, especially Honor and Jared who were just perfect for each other.
