Ace has left the tiny Mississippi town of Bugtussle for the palm fronds
and mojitos of Pelican Cove, Florida. She's finally opening her
long-dreamed-of art gallery, is kick-starting a life with her fiancé,
Mason, and has vowed to leave her straight-talking, sassy ways behind
her. From now on, she's going to be as sweet as sugar. Unfortunately,
something comes along to sour her plans.
That something is Mrs.
Lenore Kennashaw and her coterie of crones. They're a bunch of snippy,
snarky, and just plain mean ol' ladies who aren't quite as smart or rich
as they'd like to think they are. But that doesn't stop them from
treating everyone else like second-class citizens. And when Ace
inadvertently takes some of the steam from Mrs. Kennashaw's stride, she
becomes their number-one enemy. But with the support of a new group of fabulous
friends, as well as her friends from Bugtussle—and her always-faithful
chiweenie, Buster Loo—Ace will find a way to make it, even if she has to
throw some weight around . . .

"Stephanie McAfee does it again! I was really excited to read the next installment in Mad Fat Girl Series. While I understood why Ace was subdued (compared to herself), it still made it increasingly frustrating to see how long she waited for things to get out of control before she stepped in and defended herself or went on the offense. I was also hoping for a HEA with Mason, but maybe I'll get it in the next book. And I am really looking forward to the next book. It was great to see many of Ace's friends from Bugtussle and meet her new ones in Pelican Grove. I had to clamp down on my lips many times to stop myself from bursting with laughter. To the onlooker I must have looked and sounded odd, but I don't regret making a fool of myself by reading this in public. It fwlt as if I wasn't reading for a very long time, even though this book is a little over 350 pages. I need more of Ace, Mason, and the gang!"

Whimsy and sharp-edged humor abound in this upbeat and only slightly crazed adventure.

— Dawn, 12/14/2013" Fabulously funny! Great sequel to "Diary of a Mad Fat Girl." The mystery part was not as complex as her first book, but the relationship dynamics were superb. The ending was a true surprise and such a cliffhanger. So looking forward to her third book. Awesome, fun read!!! "

Ace is a fun, sassy heroine who would make a great best friend. Overall, the book is a fast, breezy read that makes you want to find out more. "

— GEPL, 5/4/2013" I listened to the first book and read this one. I found it slightly annoying to read as at times i thought there was repetition. There were parts that made me lol. It ended in a way that says there will be another book "
— Mindy, 4/28/2013" Not as funny as I had expected. But, still worth reading for entertainment. "
— Amy, 2/23/2013" Sometimes I can't believe I read this shit. For some reason this feel-good novel didn't. I don't know what it is about the way these books are written, but both of them, although amusing and easy to read, don't quite offer adequate escapism. "
