Review: The Flood Girls

The Flood Girls by Richard Fifield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an awesome-beautiful-funny-sad-bitter-sweet book!

Rachel Flood returns to her home town, after 9 years away, to make amends to all the people she hurt when she was a teenager. It's part of her 12 step AA program and most of the 956 inhabitants of Quinn, Montana still hate her for the chaos she created all those years ago.

The cast of characters is a mix of messed up people living in a messed up town. To name a few: Rachel's mother Laverna, the two Mabel's, the Jim's (a very popular name in Quinn), Bucky and Jake, a 12 year old going on 82 gay boy. All I can say is I fell in love with all of them.

I'm not a sports fan. What's more, I don't understand anything about any sport, but Mr. Fifield's description of the softball games the Flood Girls (the local Quinn team) play, are so well written they had me cheering with the rest of the fans.

I started the book at 7 pm and read through the night. That's how good this book was for me.

Thank you Mr. Fifield for an amazing story

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
