Just love this series!

China & McCabe & Ruby and the gang give us the best Herbal Texas to be found anywhere!

Main character is unlikable.

I gave this second book in the series a chance because I was on the fence after reading the first. But no, I just couldn’t find any characters to find interesting or care about. The main character seems aloof and could be one of the mean girls if you aren’t in her clique ( she wishes the obnoxious minister would have a stroke!). I’ve liked the first several books in the Darling Dahlias series by the same author but these folks are just not for me.
