Publisher Description
Graciela "Ace" Jones is mad-mad at her best friend Lilly who cancels their annual trip to Panama City for mysterious reasons; at her boss Catherine for "riding her ass like a fat lady on a Rascal scooter;" at her friend Chloe's abusive husband; and especially at Mason McKenzie, the love of her life, who has shown up with a marriage proposal one year too late. Ace is never mad, though, at her near-constant companion, an adorable chiweenie dog named Buster Loo.
Ace's anger begins to dissipate as she takes matters into her own hands to take down Chloe's philandering husband-and to get to the bottom of a multitude of other scandals plaguing Bugtussle, Mississippi. Then, she starts to realize that maybe Mason deserves a second chance after all.
With a sharp and distinctive voice, Stephanie McAfee delivers a hilarious and fast-paced tale about Ace Jones and her two best friends-thick as thieves and tough as nails-navigating Southern small-town politics and prejudices, finding love, and standing up for each other all the way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Graciela "Ace" Jones has a lot on her plate: her best friend Lilly cancelled their annual trip and won't tell her why; her boss hates her and makes her life miserable; her friend Chloe is married to a controlling, abusive man; and Ace's own love life is on the skids since her jealousy and insecurity lead to her break-up with love-of-her-life Mason. Here, Campbell turns in a winning performance, ably capturing Ace's unique voice and bringing her to life. The narrator also creates distinctive voices for other characters, including the prickly principal; the abusive husband; and mousy, nervous Chloe. A NAL paperback.
