About this listen

Welcome to the Bottom Dollar Emporium of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, where everything from coconut mallow cookies to Clabber Girl Baking Powder costs only a dollar and coffee and gossip are free. For Elizabeth, Mavis, and Attalee, the Bottom Dollar Girls, logging nine to five at the Bottom Dollar is not just work time, it's family time. So when news gets out that the Super Saver Dollar Store chain plans to set up shop and run the Bottom Dollar out of town, things go cattywampus.

Manager Elizabeth heads up a crew of dedicated do-gooders bent on saving the Bottom Dollar from the fate of spare change. But when her unlikely new love interest, who also happens to be Cayboo Creek's wealthiest bachelor, pitches woo, out come some startling revelations about her past that turn life more than a little interesting for all her friends and neighbors.

Great Story

What a delightful story. No explicit sex scenes. Beautifully written. Narration was excellent. Though I don’t usually recommend, I’m doing so with this book.

An easy book to listen to

This book was slow at first then started picking up. It was nice to listen to a book without all the sex and cussing. I’m on to the next in the series for some relaxing reading or listening.

Charming story, but…

I almost ditched this book solely over the pronunciation of Augusta. I decided to stick it out, but it remained an annoyance. I find it difficult to believe that there was no one in the room that knew the proper pronunciation of this city when it was spoken by the narrator the first time it appeared in the story. If there was, why wasn’t it corrected? Crazy. Just crazy. To the producer, I would say, “in the future, please review the pronunciation of all proper nouns with the author before beginning to record the narration”.

Enjoyable and heart warming

Remembering my rural family life and my own wonderful grandmothers. Loved the laugh’s I had from the author’s story.

Delightful!

Southern to it's core. Fun, sweet, heartwarming and a little sad.

The story is skillfully told weaving a bit of mystery and heartache through out a fun low country tale. Fell in love with the well developed characters. (I'm pretty sure I know an Adele too!). The book is very well written as well as wholesome, romantic, cleaver, unique and funny.

Narration perfect!

Highly recommend!

Will make you laugh and cry a little too

This is one of the best books I have listened to in a long time. The book is very funny, and the main character is truly lovable. I’m going to listen to and read the authors other books as well, since I enjoyed this one so much.

A fun and moving read

This story is fun with a lot of laughs but there’s also a depth of meaning and character development. Each character was unique and well developed with a few cute quirks for each one of them. I loved all the characters and the story.

A sweet, interesting story

I enjoyed this story very much. it wasn't a murder Thriller, or two people just falling in love and that was the end of it. it's got a nice twist, and fun characters.
