It isn't every day a movie star steals your husband. When that day comes for Chiffon Butrell of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, she looks to the Bottom Dollar Girls to help her out of one fine mess.
With three kids to feed and Lonnie's paycheck from the NutraSweet plant being forwarded to a California address, Chiffon is coming up more than a dollar short. There's just one thing to be done—call on her estranged older sister, Chenille. As crisis reigns, Chenille is welcomed by the Bottom Dollar Girls for her cool head and quick thinking. And when Chenille runs into a little trouble of her own, she begins to see the future in friendship. A rollicking, hilarious novel about two sisters who are each one of a kind, A Dollar Short is a delicious page-turner worth every last cent.

" Another fun read by Karin Gillespie! "
" Fun read of about a small town and the residence in South Carolina. "
" Something about the characters in these books draw me in. Nothing leaned, nothing new, but I can escape, for a little while, to that much-idolized small southern town. "
" A chickie book, where the girl rules. Just light reading with a chuckle or two. "
" A light funny read. Sometimes a bit silly. "
" The characters in these "Bottom Dollar Girls" books keep me coming back. Onto book #3... "
" This book was just really fun to read. It was fun, witty, and a good laugh. Guess what I learned from reading this book is to never let your husband go to Hollywood without you. LOL "
" Very cute story with fun characters. "
" This series of books is just fun. These are all quick reads involving a small town in South Carolina but they talk about Georgia a lot too. All the women are hilarious but this isn't a very thought provoking book or anything. :-) More like golden girls meets trailer trash, I love all of them. LOL! "
" Very light read, enjoyed it. Would recommend as a beach read only! "
" Waitress Chiffon, her spinster sister Chenille, and philandering husband Lonnie are at the center of this econd installment. Fast, fun read. I recognize characters from other books, but that's okay with me. "
