In this humorous and heartfelt novel, a blueberry farmer teams up with a teenager in need to start a revenge business. What could possibly go wrong?

In rural Ohio, the last connections lonesome Felicity Lavigne has to her late mom are the blueberry farm she inherited and her mom’s old phone number—which Felicity still calls every day. Until she gets a call back. It’s the number’s new owner, Alex Norse, a surly, homeless teenager who has aged out of the foster care system with no one to turn to except the stranger who’s been leaving rambling voicemails for a dead woman.

Felicity takes Alex in on one condition: She has to help scare off some kids vandalizing the fields. Not only does it work, but news spreads, and soon locals are lining up to solicit justice for their own grievances. Best of all, an unexpected friendship blooms for the two young women, who have found in each other the family they’ve been yearning for.

But revenge has a funny way of getting out of hand, and when things go a bit too far, Felicity and trouble-prone Alex must stick together to confront the heartbreak of their pasts and whatever new calamities may lie ahead.

This is such a charming story. I hope it's made into a movie for Hallmark. And I was just captivated by the narration. I looked forward to hopping in the car for a long drive or walking my dog so I could listen. Well done!

What a charming story, and loved the performance!

I really did enjoy this book. I actually wanted more. That’s probably why it’s getting a four star review. I honestly thought it wrapped up abruptly and left a lot unaddressed…

Omg this was just the best. If you loved the CW show The Hart of Dixie then this book is for you. It has all the small town feels with a ton of heart and humor. This is also a story of second chances, forgiveness, redemption, and healing. Loved everything about this book and so glad I was able to listen to the audiobook. The narrator was so good and really helped to bring the story to life!

Cute debut novel

This was a cute story. Unfortunately, it comes with a huge dose of social justice, even though its white people stealing land from other white people. Squatters rights are absolute nonsense but here we are. To be upset with the people you stole from is a different level of crazy but what do I know

decent story

honestly I can't really pinpoint anything I didn't like. I guess other than Felicity not winning the competition!

I really related to how this author wrote about Felicity's journey through her grief, this authors writing made me feel seen
