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 three years 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.

"I'm fat. There's no other way to look at it. So, I enjoyed reading a story with the main character being someone who isn't the "perfect mold". The main character, "Ace" is quick witted and bitter. (Sometimes too bitter for my liking) Alas, it was a funny, entertaining, vengeful book."

— Nicole (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Really terrible chicklit. I kept reading because I wanted to know how this woman was able to successfully sell a self-published book. The answer appears to be that the masses like books written by sixth-graders. There isn't a "diary" in this book and the fact that the main character is "mad" and "fat" is hardly mentioned. The plot rambles all over the place. Horrible. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. "

    " I like Ace but I am hoping that the story gets better. The book really didn't get better. Ace ends up with her love in the end but it was trite and unexciting. "

    " Not very well written and the protagonist was profoundly annoying and one dimensional. Ace is very loud and vulgar. I picked it up as a light read for only $0.99, so I guess it got what I paid for. It was entertaining... "

    " A; What a fun story! Ace lives in small town Mississippi, is an art teacher, and won't stand for BS in any arena. She's a hillarious character as she navigates high school politics, on/off again love, and dealing with her 2 BFFs. I hope this becomes a series!!! "
